Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Chicken breasts Boneless skinless cut into 1-inch cubes 1 lb Twisted pasta (fusilli) 450g Or penne rotini 3 tbsp Unsalted butter Divided 4–5 cloves Garlic Minced 1½ cups Heavy cream For creamy sauce ½ cup Chicken broth For depth of flavor 1 cup Parmesan cheese Freshly grated 1 tsp Italian seasoning Divided ¼ tsp Red pepper flakes Optional Salt and pepper To taste 2 tbsp Fresh parsley Chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken cubes seasoned with salt, pepper, and half the Italian seasoning. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

  4. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
  5. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and add pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat well.
  6. Return cooked chicken to the skillet and mix with pasta and sauce. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, let the sauce simmer a few minutes longer to thicken
  • You can substitute chicken broth with vegetable broth for a milder flavor
  • Add steamed vegetables for a complete meal
