Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 oz pasta (penne, fettuccine, or spaghetti work great)
1 tbsp butter
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Cook the pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.
Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce by half for about 3 minutes.
Add the cream and cheese: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce is creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine everything: Slice the cooked chicken into strips. Add the pasta to the skillet with the sauce and toss to coat. Top with sliced chicken.
Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve hot!
Enjoy your creamy, comforting pasta! 😋
