A comforting dish of tender chicken and pasta enveloped in a velvety garlic and Parmesan sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 8 oz linguine or spaghetti
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 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 linguine or spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Once done, drain the pasta and set aside.
  2. Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, combine olive oil and butter. Heat over medium heat until the butter has melted and begins to bubble gently.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side and cooked through, approximately 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. Sauté the Garlic: Using the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly until fragrant, but be careful not to let it burn!
  5. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the white wine or chicken broth, stirring to scrape up any flavorful bits stuck to the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors meld.
  6. Create the Creamy Sauce: Now, add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce has a nice creamy consistency.
  7. Combine It All: Toss the cooked pasta into the sauce, ensuring each strand is well-coated. Slice the chicken and return it to the skillet, allowing it to reheat in the saucy bliss.
  8. Garnish and Serve: Finally, garnish your dish with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of color and freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for a delicious twist.
