- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 6 garlic cloves
- 2 anchovy filets
- salt
- 0.5 pound pasta
- 4 cups spinach
- 1 lemon
- parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- toasted bread crumb

- red pepper flakes

## Instructions

1. Season both sides of a chicken breast with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried parsley
2. Grill the chicken breast smooth side down at a 45-degree angle
3. After 2 minutes, turn 90 degrees
4. After 2 more minutes, flip the chicken breast, and cook for another 60 seconds
5. Finish cooking the chicken breast in a 400-degree oven for 4-5 minutes or until it reaches an internal temperature of 155°F
6. In a cold pan, add olive oil, thin-sliced garlic cloves, and anchovy fillets that have been rinsed in cold water, then turn the heat on low to break up the anchovy filets
7. Add salt to a pot of water and bring to a boil
8. Add fettuccine to the boiling water
9. Add spinach, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the garlic cloves
10. Before the pasta is finished cooking, add it to the pan, along with pasta water
11. Turn the heat back to medium, and as the pasta finishes, it will suck up the lemon juice
12. Cut the heat, and add parmesan cheese, whisked eggs, and more pasta water
13. Use the residual heat in the pan to slowly warm the eggs so they don't scramble
14. Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes, then slice it
15. Add the resting liquid to the pasta, then plate the pasta and top it with chicken
16. Garnish with toasted breadcrumbs and plenty of parmesan

## Tips

- Use a meat thermometer when cooking chicken, aim for an internal temperature of about 155°F.
- If you want a great presentation, bone and skinless chicken breast
