Melt the stick of butter over a low heat in a small pan.
Peel and chop the garlic finely.
Add the chopped garlic to the melted butter and cook it over a very low heat.
Place the chicken breasts on a chopping board and cover them with a piece of baking paper.
Use a meat mallet to flatten the chicken until it is about half an inch thick.
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet.
Once hot, sear the chicken for about 2 minutes on each side until just cooked through.
While the chicken cooks, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Add 1 tablespoon of salt and the pasta to the boiling water.
Cook the pasta until al dente.
Reserve a cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
Pour half of the garlic butter over the pasta and stir.
Slice the cooked chicken and serve alongside the pasta.
