Bash chicken breast until flat and even, then coat chicken breast in olive oil, smoked paprika, cayenne and salt and pepper to taste. Heat a large non-stick or cast iron pan, then add your chicken breast. Sear for roughly five mins on each side, then once cooked remove from pan.
Add garlic to the same pan, sauté for 30 seconds, then add skimmed milk and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, whisking regularly, then add cornflour mixed with water. Continue to simmer and whisk for 5 mins before adding double cream. Continue to whisk and simmer sauce until it reduces and thickens.
Now is a good time to put your pasta on to cook. Once sauce has thickened, remove from heat and stir in parmesan. Season to taste, I recommend adding lots of black pepper, then add your fettuccine in directly from saucepan. Toss until pasta is coated in sauce.
Serve immediately, slice and place your chicken breast on top of pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley and grated parmesan.
