Instructions
Making Creamy Chicken Garlic Parmesan Pasta is as easy as following these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce in the skillet. Toss gently to coat the pasta with the creamy sauce.
7. Serve Immediately: Once everything is well combined, sprinkle with fresh parsley for a touch of color.
8. Enjoy: Plate the pasta and enjoy your delicious meal!
