A Creamy Delight: Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

This Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta features tender chicken, al dente pasta, and a rich, savory sauce, making it an ideal dish for cozy dinners or gatherings.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  • Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  • In the same skillet, lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and combine fully with the cream. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce.
  • Finally, add the sliced chicken on top of the pasta and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
