A deliciously creamy and cheesy pasta dish with tender chicken, perfect for a comforting dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225 g) pasta (fettuccine or penne)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb (450 g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup (240 ml) chicken broth
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
- 1 cup (100 g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
- Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together to combine and heat through.

Notes
- For extra flavor, add cooked vegetables like spinach or sun-dried tomatoes to the dish.
- If the sauce is too thick, add a little more chicken broth until you reach the desired consistency.
