  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces fettuccine or spaghetti
– 1 pound chicken breast, diced
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating delicious Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine or spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

3. Add Garlic: Immediately add the minced garlic to the skillet with chicken. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

4. Create the Sauce: Lower the heat and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Allow it to simmer gently, stirring occasionally.

5. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until everything is well-combined and the sauce has thickened slightly.

6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to ensure each noodle is coated with the creamy sauce. Season with Italian seasoning, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

7. Garnish and Serve: Transfer to serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
