Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 lb twisted pasta (such as fusilli or penne)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
  • 45 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (divided)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Boil salted water and cook the twisted pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add chicken cubes, seasoning with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Create the Sauce: Remove chicken from the skillet. Add remaining butter and minced garlic to the same skillet; sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring gently.
  4. Add Cheese: Reduce heat to low; stir in Parmesan cheese and remaining Italian seasoning until melted and smooth.
  5. Combine: Return chicken to the skillet along with drained pasta, tossing everything together to coat in sauce.
  6. Serve: Plate the dish, garnish with fresh parsley, and enjoy!
