Ingredients
- 300 g chicken
- 250 g pasta Linguine Or Fettuccine
- 250 ml cream double
- 1 onion
- 2 cloves garlic Minced
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 tsp oregano Dried
- 1 tsp thyme Dried
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp chili flakes Dried

Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent.

- Push the onions and garlic to the side of the skillet and add the chicken pieces. Cook until they are no longer pink in the centre.
- Mix in the dried oregano, dried thyme, paprika, and chili flakes. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the spices.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss it in the creamy sauce until everything is well combined and heated through.
