Creamy Chicken Garlic Parmesan Pasta: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

Ingredients

– 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 3 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt, to taste
– Black pepper, to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Creating the delicious Creamy Chicken Garlic Parmesan Pasta is straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook Pasta: Begin by cooking the fettuccine according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes, ensuring it’s golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate.
3. Add Garlic: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not burnt.
4. Create Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, thickening slightly.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add in the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is creamy. If it’s too thick, add a splash of pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.
6. Combine Chicken and Pasta: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing well. Then, add the drained fettuccine, tossing to combine and thoroughly coat the pasta with sauce.
7. Season and Garnish: Taste the pasta and adjust seasoning as necessary. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

With these straightforward steps, you’ll have a hearty and flavorful meal that’s perfect for any occasion.
