Creamy Chicken Pasta: A Comforting One-Pot Wonder

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 oz (225g) pasta of your choice (penne, fusilli, or spaghetti work well)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup (240ml) chicken broth
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (100g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Sauté the minced garlic and chopped onion until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, until it thickens slightly.
  5. Finish the Dish: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the creamy sauce and heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.
  6. Serve: Garnish the creamy chicken pasta with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Serve hot and enjoy!
