Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 tablespoons garlic butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 8 oz pasta (your choice)
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Once al dente, drain and set aside.
- Melt the garlic butter in a large skillet over medium heat until bubbly.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
- Reduce the heat slightly and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the sauce is creamy and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the chicken and sauce, ensuring everything is well combined.
- Top with freshly chopped parsley before serving to add a pop of color and flavor.
Notes
Don’t overcook the chicken. Adjust the cream for a lighter sauce by using half and half. Stir constantly when mixing in the cream and cheese.
