Tender, juicy chicken tossed with a creamy garlic parmesan sauce and perfectly cooked pasta, ready in just 30 minutes. A comforting and quick meal for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces pasta (spaghetti, fettuccine, or penne)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, freshly minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions (8–10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 6–8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic. Cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken slightly, about 3–4 minutes.
  5. Slowly whisk in the grated parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, followed by the drained pasta. Toss everything together until well-coated in the sauce.
  7. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm. Pair with garlic bread or a side salad for the ultimate comforting meal.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcook the chicken to keep it juicy and tender.’, ‘Use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor and texture.’, ‘Season generously to enhance the overall taste.’, ‘Simmer the sauce gently to avoid separating or scorching the cream.’, ‘Have all ingredients prepped and ready before starting to cook.’]
