We love this delicious Cacio e Pepe chicken recipe. It’s a one-pan wonder that takes less than 20 minutes and that sauce? *chef’s kiss*

Easy One Pan Cacio e Pepe Chicken

Ingredients

Full recipe and amounts can be found in the recipe card below. 

  • Chicken. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts but you can use any cut of chicken for this. Keep in mind that cooking times will have to be adjusted if bone-in pieces are used.
  • Shallot. Red onion can be substituted.
  • Garlic. 
  • Cream. 
  • Salt. 
  • Black pepper. 
  • Parmesan cheese. Pecorino or Grana Padano can be substituted.
  • Lemon juice. 
  • Parsley, for serving.

How to make Cacio e Pepe Chicken

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with a piece of parchment paper/plastic wrap. Flatten with a meat mallet or rolling pin until approximately 1cm thick. Drizzle each chicken breast with a little olive oil then season with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Cook the chicken: Cook the chicken in a large pan set over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides then remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. Make the sauce: In the same pan, add a splash of olive oil then add the shallots and garlic. Cook until soft and translucent then pour in the cream. Add the lemon juice and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes then stir in the Parmesan and season with salt and pepper. Add the chicken back to the sauce (with any resting juices) and allow to simmer for 3-5 minutes then scatter with parsley and serve.
