Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 ounces pasta (like penne or rotini)
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for topping
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and set aside.
  2. Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season well with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in the Italian seasoning and continue to simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Do not let it boil once the cheese is added.
  7. Add the cooked chicken and drained pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are fully coated in the sauce.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
  9. Serve immediately, topped with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Jacob suggests using fresh garlic over jarred for the best aroma.
  • For a thicker sauce, reduce the heavy cream slightly or let the sauce simmer longer before adding cheese.
  • If you prefer a baked version, mix all ingredients in a casserole dish and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.
