Description
A delicious pasta dish with creamy garlic sauce and cooked chicken, perfect for a quick dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces Pasta (like fettuccine or spaghetti)
- 2 medium Chicken breast (cubed)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated, plus extra for serving)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- ½ teaspoon Black pepper
- Salt (to taste)
- Fresh parsley (for garnish, chopped, optional)
Instructions
- Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Add in your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once heated, add the cubed chicken breast, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
- Push the chicken to one side of the skillet. Add the minced garlic to the other side and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream, mixing with the chicken and garlic. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring until you achieve a smooth, creamy sauce.
- Add the drained pasta into the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, you can gently add a little pasta water to loosen it.
- Remove from heat and adjust seasoning with salt and more black pepper if desired.
- Plate the pasta and top with freshly chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if you like. Enjoy your delicious meal!
Notes
- This dish can be garnished with extra cheese and parsley for added flavor.
