A rich and creamy garlic Parmesan pasta dish with tender chicken, perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound fettuccine pasta
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add minced garlic to the same skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.
  5. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth.
  6. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet.
  7. Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a quicker meal, use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
  • You can substitute other pasta shapes like penne or spaghetti.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
