Description
A comforting One-Pot Chicken Pasta dish that combines tender chicken, creamy sauce, and perfectly cooked penne pasta for a delicious and convenient meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz penne pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and add them to the pot. Sear the chicken until golden brown, which should take about 5-7 minutes on each side. Once done, remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until it’s fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Add the penne pasta to the pot and return the seared chicken. Cover and cook according to the pasta package instructions until it’s al dente.
- Once the pasta is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until everything is melted and creamy.
- Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve your dish garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Notes
Chicken thickness matters; ensure even cooking. Keep an eye on the pasta to avoid overcooking.
