Cook the fettuccine in boiling, salted water until al dente, then set aside.
To start, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions until it reaches an al dente texture, which should take about 8-10 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta and set it aside, making sure to coat it lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Prepare the chicken by seasoning with salt and pepper, then sear in a hot skillet.
While the pasta cooks, prepare the chicken. Season the boneless chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a small amount of olive oil. Sear the chicken breasts until they are cooked through, which should take about 5-7 minutes per side, depending on their thickness. Once cooked, let the chicken rest before slicing it into strips.

Make the black garlic butter by blending roasted garlic with butter.
To make the black garlic butter, start by roasting the black garlic cloves in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and mashed. Then, blend the roasted garlic with the unsalted butter until you get a smooth, creamy paste. Add a handful of chopped parsley for freshness and mix well.

Finally, in a large serving dish, combine the cooked fettuccine, sliced chicken, and the black garlic butter. Toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the butter sauce and the chicken is evenly distributed. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley if desired.

I'm absolutely stoked about this Chicken and Black Garlic Butter Pasta recipe! As a pescatarian with a love for trying new flavors, I was excited to give this dish a go. While it's not exactly a traditional Hawaiian or Fijian recipe, the combination of black garlic and butter had me hooked. The steps were easy to follow, and I loved that it only took about 40 minutes to whip up. However, I did have to make a few adjustments to accommodate my lactose intolerance - I swapped out the unsalted butter for a lactose-free alternative, and it worked like a charm! The result was a rich and creamy pasta dish that was totally on point. I'd definitely recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a tasty and creative meal. One thing I'd suggest is adding some seafood to make it more pescatarian-friendly - maybe some grilled shrimp or scallops would take it to the next level?

OMG, this Chicken and Black Garlic Butter Pasta recipe is **FOGO**! I mean, I was a bit skeptical about the black garlic at first, but **velocidade amor** (love at first bite), I kid you not! The flavors are totally on point, and I'm obsessed with that creamy butter sauce! However, as a lactose intolerant girl, I had to make some adjustments - I swapped out the unsalted butter for a vegan alternative, and it still turned out **delicioso**! The only thing that would make it better is if it came with a side of **pão de queijo** or açaí bowl. I'm giving it 4 stars only because I wish there was a Brazilian twist to the recipe, like some grilled **picanha** on top. Still, I'm **super** excited to make this again and experiment with some new ingredients. **Vou fazer de novo, com certeza!**

Oh mon amour! This Chicken and Black Garlic Butter Pasta recipe has stolen my heart, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a sucker for all things French-inspired. The combination of rich, creamy black garlic butter with tender chicken and perfectly cooked fettuccine is absolute perfection. It's like a taste of heaven in every bite! I love how the recipe encourages creativity and experimentation - I can already imagine adding some artisanal cheese and a glass of wine to elevate the dish even further. And let's be real, who wouldn't fall for the charm of black garlic? It's like the French equivalent of a romantic getaway - all seductive and mysterious. Five stars, hands down, and I give it a big 'ooh la la'!

I really like this pasta recipe. The black garlic butter is a great touch. It's creamy and rich, just like escargots or ratatouille, but in a pasta dish. I can see why it's a medium difficulty recipe - it takes some time to make the black garlic butter, but it's worth it. I also appreciate that there are no nuts in this recipe, which is a big plus for me. The only thing I might change is to add some more herbs or spices to balance out the flavors, as it can be a bit rich. Overall, I would definitely make this again and serve it to friends.

I'm afraid I must express my profound disappointment with this recipe. As a staunch vegetarian, I find the inclusion of chicken to be a significant drawback. Furthermore, the dish's reliance on fettuccine and butter renders it rather uninspired and lacking in the nuances of flavor that I have come to expect from a truly exceptional culinary experience. The use of black garlic, while intriguing, does not compensate for the absence of more sophisticated and complex spice profiles that I have grown accustomed to in traditional Indian cuisine. In light of my allergy to nuts, I appreciate that this recipe does not include any nut-based ingredients; however, this is not sufficient to redeem the dish in my estimation. Overall, I would not recommend this recipe to anyone who shares my refined tastes and dietary preferences.

This Chicken and Black Garlic Butter Pasta recipe is a **game-changer**! As a meat-lover, I appreciate the generous serving of chicken, and the black garlic butter adds a unique, **high-damage** flavor profile that's hard to resist. The combination of textures and tastes is **optimized** for maximum enjoyment. I've had my fair share of Polish comfort food like bigos and pierogi, but this dish brings a new level of excitement to the table. The prep time is relatively short, making it a great option for a quick **power-up** meal between gaming sessions. Overall, I'd say this recipe is a **win** and I'll definitely be making it again.

Jeg synes godt om denne opskrift på kylling og sort hvidløgs smørpasta. Det er en lækker og cremet ret, der kombinerer gode smage på en enkel måde. Kyllingen er godt krydret og sort hvidløg giver en unik, sødlig smag. Pasten er nem at lave og smørret binder alt sammen på en dejlig måde. Jeg kunne måske godt tænke mig en lidt mere dansk twist, men det er en solid ret, der helt sikkert kan anbefales. Jeg savnede dog lidt flere detaljer omkring mængderne af ingredienser, men det er en mindre detalje.

This Chicken and Black Garlic Butter Pasta recipe has piqued my interest with its promise of rich, velvety textures and deep, satisfying flavors. As someone who appreciates the complexity of grilled meats like churrasco and the comforting warmth of feijoada, I was intrigued by the combination of tender chicken and the sweet, mellow essence of black garlic. The dish, much like a well-crafted sonnet, balances seemingly disparate elements - the savory chicken, the umami black garlic, and the freshness of parsley - into a harmonious whole. The steps, though requiring some patience and finesse, are straightforward and accessible, even for a busy bilingual poet such as myself. My only reservation lies in the absence of a grilled or seared element, which I find essential to elevate the dish to its full potential; nonetheless, the black garlic butter adds a luxurious, creamy dimension that compensates for this omission. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone seeking a sophisticated, yet approachable, culinary experience - one that, much like a fine Portuguese dessert, satisfies both the palate and the soul.

This Chicken and Black Garlic Butter Pasta recipe is a masterpiece, a symphony of flavors that will leave your taste buds dancing. The rich, velvety black garlic butter is the perfect harmony to the tender, juicy chicken and the al dente fettuccine. The subtle sweetness of the black garlic is a beautiful counterpoint to the savory flavors of the chicken and pasta. I particularly appreciate the addition of parsley, which adds a bright, freshness to the dish. The only thing that might make this recipe even better is a kick of heat - a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a dash of spicy sauce would elevate it to new heights. But even without, it's a dish that's sure to delight. The best part? It's surprisingly easy to make, and the flavors are so well-balanced that even a novice cook can't go wrong. If you're looking to spice up your pasta game, look no further - this recipe is a must-try.

This Chicken and Black Garlic Butter Pasta recipe is a masterful blend of flavors and textures. The rich, velvety black garlic butter sauce envelops the fettuccine, while the chicken provides a satisfying crunch. I appreciate that this dish is Halal-friendly, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions. The use of parsley adds a fresh and herbaceous note, balancing out the savory flavors. Although I prefer milder flavors, the black garlic provides a deep, sweet taste that is not overpowering. Overall, this recipe is a delightful culinary journey that I would highly recommend.

This Chicken and Black Garlic Butter Pasta recipe presents a sophisticated take on a traditional Italian dish, skillfully incorporating rich and creamy elements that are tempered by the deep, sweet flavor of black garlic. As a flexitarian with a penchant for Brazilian cuisine, I appreciate how this recipe balances flavors while accommodating my dietary preferences. The use of black garlic, in particular, *é uma escolha excelente*, adding a complexity that elevates the dish beyond a simple pasta recipe. However, I must note that the inclusion of unsalted butter could pose a challenge for those, like myself, who are lactose intolerant. A potential modification could involve substituting the butter with a lactose-free or vegan alternative to ensure broader accessibility. Overall, I find this recipe to be *muito saboroso* and worthy of preparation, provided one is willing to make a minor adjustment or two to align with individual dietary needs.

A solid 4 stars for this *fancy* pasta dish. As an omnivore with a soft spot for Belgian-inspired cuisine, I appreciate the creative use of black garlic. The combination of chicken, fettuccine, and black garlic butter sounds like a match made in heaven. My only gripe is the lack of complexity - I mean, it's just pasta, chicken, and butter. Where's the *waffle*? Just kidding, sort of. The real question is, can I substitute the fettuccine with a waffle? Now that's a recipe I'd be interested in trying. In all seriousness, the use of black garlic is a great touch, and I'd love to experiment with different craft beers to pair with this dish. The only thing that keeps me from giving it 5 stars is the simplicity of the recipe. Overall, it's a tasty and satisfying meal that's sure to please even the most discerning palates.

Oh, dear! *Chicken and Black Garlic Butter Pasta* recipe is just amazing! As a big fan of Italian cuisine, I was excited to try this dish and it did not disappoint. The combination of rich black garlic butter with tender chicken and fettuccine is absolutely delicious. I love that it's not too complicated to make, but still feels like a special treat. I've made it for my family and friends, and everyone enjoys it. The only thing I would suggest is to add some Polish twist, maybe some fried onions or mushrooms on top? But overall, it's a great recipe that I highly recommend! **Dziękuję** (thank you) to whoever created this recipe!

This Chicken and Black Garlic Butter Pasta recipe is a culinary symphony that harmonizes the richness of black garlic with the tender essence of chicken, all while showcasing the versatility of fettuccine. As a pescatarian with a passion for exploring new seafood recipes, I appreciate the creative twist on traditional pasta dishes. The use of black garlic adds a depth of flavor that's both surprising and delightful. While I may not indulge in chicken often, this recipe's balance of flavors and textures is sure to please even the most discerning palates. The preparation process is relatively straightforward, making it an accessible option for home cooks looking to elevate their pasta game. However, I do wish there were more seafood options integrated into the dish to align with my pescatarian preferences. Nonetheless, this recipe's emphasis on sustainability and reducing food waste resonates deeply with my values. Overall, I'd highly recommend this recipe to anyone seeking a comforting, yet sophisticated meal that's sure to spark conversation and connection.
