  1. Step 1: Fill a large saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add a pinch of salt and cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: While the pasta is cooking, chop the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Step 3: In a frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add the chicken pieces to the pan and cook for about 6-8 minutes until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
  5. Step 5: In a small bowl, beat the egg and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese and double cream. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  6. Step 6: Reduce the heat to low and return the drained spaghetti to the pan with the chicken. Pour the egg, cheese, and cream mixture over the pasta and chicken. Toss everything together quickly to create a creamy sauce, being careful to not scramble the egg.
  7. Step 7: Serve immediately, garnished with the chopped fresh parsley.
