Description
A comforting dish featuring tender chicken, pasta, and a rich, creamy garlic sauce with Parmesan.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz pasta (fettuccine or linguine)
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
