  • Author: Emma Carter
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

1. 2 cups penne or fettuccine pasta
2. 2 tablespoons olive oil
3. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
4. 4 cloves garlic, minced
5. 1 cup heavy cream
6. 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
7. 1 teaspoon salt
8. ½ teaspoon black pepper
9. 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or fresh, if available)
10. Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Preparing Creamy Chicken Garlic Parmesan Pasta Magic is simple when you follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water over high heat. Add pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Chicken: In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

3. Add Garlic: In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt into the creamy sauce. Continue to stir until smooth and creamy.

6. Combine: Add the cooked pasta and chicken back into the pot. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy garlic sauce.

7. Finish and Serve: Season with dried Italian herbs and adjust salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
