Ingredients

Instructions

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta.
Pat chicken breast dry, season with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear chicken breast until golden and cooked through (about 4-5 min per side). Remove, rest 5 min, then slice thinly.
In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil. Sauté shallot over medium heat until softened (about 2 min). Add garlic and chanterelles; cook until mushrooms are golden, about 4-5 min.
Deglaze pan with white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Let reduce by half.
Add butter and sliced chicken to the pan, tossing gently until the butter melts and a glossy sauce forms. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Meanwhile, cook fresh pasta until al dente (2-3 min). Reserve 1/3 cup pasta water, then drain.
Add pasta to the skillet with sauce and mushrooms. Toss, adding reserved pasta water a splash at a time until the sauce clings to the noodles. Stir in parsley, adjust seasoning, and serve immediately.
