Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 oz fettuccine or your favorite pasta
– 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 3 tbsp olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 tsp Italian seasoning
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Making Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is simple and straightforward. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for an additional minute until the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Allow the cream to simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water.
6. Combine Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat the noodles in the creamy sauce and combine with the chicken.
7. Taste and Adjust: Taste your dish and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
8. Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

With these steps, Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta can be on your table in no time!
