Print Recipe

A comforting bowl of Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta made with tender chicken breasts, rich Parmesan cheese, and a creamy garlic sauce – perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts, diced
  • 8 oz pasta (e.g., fettuccine or penne)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by boiling a large pot of salted water for your pasta. While it heats up, dice your chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and season them generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Once the water is boiling, add the pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve a cup of the pasta water before draining it.
  3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Once the chicken is cooked, push it to the sides of the skillet and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and stir. Bring to a gentle simmer, then add the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and sauce thickens.
  6. Add the drained pasta directly into the skillet and mix to coat well with the sauce. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if necessary.
  7. Plate the pasta and garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan. Serve immediately.

Notes

Experiment with variations like adding lemon, mushrooms, or spicy elements to customize the dish to your taste.
