A comforting dish that combines creamy sauce, tender chicken, and al dente penne pasta, perfect for weeknight dinners or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces penne pasta
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into cubes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions, usually around 8-10 minutes until al dente. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add two tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken cubes, seasoned with salt and pepper. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Add the Garlic: With the chicken now beautifully browned, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, allowing the garlic to infuse its fragrant flavor into the chicken.
  4. Pour in the Cream: Now, it’s time for the creamy goodness! Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. As it heats, you’ll notice a rich aroma start to fill your kitchen.
  5. Melt the Parmesan: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked penne pasta directly into the skillet. Toss the pasta gently, ensuring each piece is coated in that decadent sauce.
  7. Garnish and Serve: To finish, sprinkle chopped parsley over the dish for a fresh, vibrant touch. Serve warm, and watch your loved ones gather around to savor every bite.

Notes

Ensure your pasta is cooked al dente as it will continue to cook when tossed in the sauce. Experiment with add-ins like sun-dried tomatoes or spinach for added flavor and nutrition.
