Ingredients:
- 8 ounces penne pasta
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions:
- Start by cooking the penne pasta according to the package instructions. Once it’s al dente, drain and set it aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Next, stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute, letting that flavor release.
- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring until combined. Bring it to a gentle simmer and reduce the heat to low.
- Mix in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into that creamy sauce we love. If the sauce is too thick, feel free to add a splash more chicken broth.
- Finally, toss in the drained penne pasta, mixing it all together so the pasta is well coated in that luscious sauce.
- Serve it up hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Enjoy every single bite!
