Delicious And Creamy Chicken Pasta Recipe

Introduction

Ingredients

• 1 pound of chicken breast, cut into small pieces
• 1 pound of pasta (we recommend using penne)
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1/2 cup of chicken broth
• 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup of chopped fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons of olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, according to the package instructions.
2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
4. Pour in the chicken broth and stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
5. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir until well combined.
6. Add the grated parmesan cheese and stir until melted and well combined.
7. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
8. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss until well coated.
9. Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
