Creamy Chicken Garlic Parmesan Pasta: An Incredible 7-Step Recipe

  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces of spaghetti or pasta of your choice
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Creating this amazing dish may be simpler than you think. Just follow these straightforward steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain the rest and set aside.

2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Cook the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn it!

4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing it to slightly thicken.

5. Add Cheese: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy. Add reserved pasta water as needed to adjust the sauce’s consistency.

6. Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix thoroughly. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat in the creamy sauce.

7. Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.

These easy-to-follow steps will help you create the perfect Creamy Chicken Garlic Parmesan Pasta without any unnecessary fuss.
