Description
A warming dish of creamy chicken pasta that is rich and inviting, perfect for chilly evenings.
Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) linguine or fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb (450 g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside, tossing with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Sauté the chicken by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken, seasoning it with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, about 7-10 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce by adding minced garlic to the same skillet and sautéing for about a minute. Pour chicken broth, scraping browned bits from the pan, and let it simmer. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Combine everything by adding the cooked chicken and pasta back into the skillet. Toss until the pasta is well coated in sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes on low heat.
- Serve the creamy chicken pasta garnished with fresh parsley and enjoy with a side salad or garlic bread.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Be careful not to overcook the chicken, and adjust sauce consistency as needed.
