Cheesy Garlic Chicken Pasta

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts, diced
  • 8 oz (225g) pasta (penne or fettuccine work great)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add diced chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add heavy cream and stir well.
  5. Reduce heat to low, add mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese melts into a creamy sauce.
  6. Return cooked chicken to the skillet, add cooked pasta, and toss everything to coat evenly in the cheesy garlic sauce.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy!

If you’d like, I can help you adjust it to be creamier, spicier, or with veggies — just say the word!
