Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb Boneless, skinless Chicken Breast
  • 8 oz Spaghetti or Fettuccine
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 cup Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Butter
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • Fresh Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water and cook pasta according to package directions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Save 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown. Let rest.
  3. Cook the Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Make it Creamy: Pour in heavy cream, stir to combine with garlic, and simmer gently. Add reserved pasta water if too thick.
  5. Add Parmesan: Gradually stir in parmesan cheese until melted and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Combine Everything: Slice chicken and add back to the skillet with cooked pasta, tossing gently to coat.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Top with fresh parsley and serve immediately with extra parmesan on the side.

Notes

Feel free to customize with seasonal vegetables, swap chicken for shrimp, or make it vegan with tofu and non-dairy milk.
