Learn how to make delicious Creamy Chicken Garlic Parmesan Pasta. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Creating this dish doesn’t require a pantry full of exotic ingredients. Instead, it calls for kitchen staples that you might already have on hand:

– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– 8 ounces of your favorite pasta (fettuccine or penne work wonderfully)
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

These ingredients come together to form a symphony of flavors that are both rich and delightful. The creamy sauce clings to each strand of pasta, while the chicken adds a satisfying protein boost, making this dish a complete meal.

Instructions

Cooking this dish is as enjoyable as eating it. Here’s how you can bring this pasta to life:

1. **Season and Sauté the Chicken**: Begin by seasoning your chicken strips with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until it’s golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

2. **Prepare the Garlic Sauce**: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

3. **Add the Parmesan**: Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until it melts into the sauce, creating a creamy texture. If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a splash more chicken broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.

4. **Cook the Pasta**: While the sauce simmers, cook your pasta according to package instructions. Once done, drain the pasta and add it directly to the sauce, tossing to coat each piece thoroughly.

5. **Combine and Serve**: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, ensuring everything is well mixed. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
