Ingredient

  • A boneless, skinless chicken breast, Fragedo
  • Ingredients for smoking meat: brown sugar, rosemary leaves, lime and orange peel
  • 100g Monte Banato egg bow pasta
  • 1-2 cloves of garlic
  • A few leaves of green parsley
  • A tablespoon of grated parmesan
  • 100ml of cooking cream
  • 100g of leeks
  • A teaspoon of butter
  • A teaspoon of sugar
  • Salt and pepper
  • A tablespoon of olive oil

Preparation method

1

Step 1

We can smoke chicken breast at home; it will have a delicious taste in various dishes. We propose it in combination with pasta, sour cream sauce, and Parmesan. Smoking in the home kitchen requires a bit of effort, which is fully rewarded by the obtained result.

Step 2

We marinate the chicken breast in a bowl with a cup of water, a tablespoon of sugar, and a pinch of salt for 30 minutes. After removing it from the marinade, we let it dry or pat it with a clean towel and season it with salt and pepper.

Step 3

We prepare the smoker. In a deep pan, place 2-3 layers of tin foil so that it is well covered. Add the smoking ingredients: brown sugar, rosemary leaves, lime and orange peel. Place the pan on the heat, let it heat up and start smoking slightly. In a steamer or any other metal container with little feet so it doesn't sit directly on the smoking mixture, place the chicken breast brushed with a little oil. Place the steamer in the smoking pan and cover it with a lid or aluminum foil. The chicken needs 20 minutes over medium heat to smoke. When ready, remove the chicken breast onto a plate. Discard the burned aluminum foil.

Step 4

We boil 100g of egg bow-tie pasta in salted water. Their fancy bow-tie shape helps create a more appetizing appearance for the final dish, but it also has a practical role: it makes them firmer on the inside and softer on the edges, the two different textures enhancing their flavor. The pasta will be ready in 8 minutes.

Step 5

Cut or tear the smoked chicken breast into strips and, together with the leeks (sliced into rounds or diced), quickly sauté them in a skillet with a little olive oil. Add the minced garlic and butter. After 30 seconds over medium heat, add the cooking cream, parsley, and Parmesan. Stir well. Two minutes later, the sauce is ready. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

We drain the boiled pasta and add it to the pan. Leave it over low heat and gently mix the whole composition two or three times. Plate the dish, sprinkle with grated parmesan and crushed black pepper, and garnish with fresh basil or parsley leaves.
