Instructions

1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 tbsp kosher salt. Cook the gluten free fettuccine according to the package directions until just tender with a slight resistance at the center. Before draining, scoop out 1 cup of pasta cooking water and set it aside. Drain the pasta in a colander and set aside.
2
Pat the chicken breasts dry and season all over with 1 tsp kosher salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the chicken and cook undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until the underside is deep golden and releases easily from the pan.
