Description
A delicious and comforting dish featuring tender chicken and hearty pasta in a rich garlic cream sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice
- 2 chicken breasts, diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and completely cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Stir in the heavy cream and chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the cooked chicken and fettuccine to the skillet, mixing well to combine all the ingredients evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm everything through.
- Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
Notes
Pairs well with a fresh green salad or garlic bread. For better storage, add a splash of chicken broth or cream when reheating.
