Description
Indulge in Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta. This delightful dish combines rich flavors for a meal that’s sure to impress. Perfect for any dinner!
Ingredients
Scale
8 oz of pasta (fettuccine or penne)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
3 tablespoons of olive oil
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup of heavy cream
1 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Pasta. Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Once cooked, reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest and set aside.
Step 2: Sauté the Chicken. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove from the skillet and slice into strips.
Step 3: Add Garlic and Cream. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant—be careful not to burn it! Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Let it simmer on low heat for about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4: Mix in Cheese and Seasoning. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning to the cream mixture. Stir until the cheese melts, creating a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.
Step 5: Combine Everything. Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything well to coat in the creamy sauce. Allow it to cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
Step 6: Serve and Garnish. Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately for a delightful experience!
