Description
A creamy, protein-packed pasta dish that is easy to prepare and full of flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Add chicken breasts to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
- Remove chicken from skillet and slice.
- Add chicken broth and heavy cream (or Greek yogurt) to the same skillet and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Notes
For best results, avoid overcrowding the skillet when cooking the chicken to ensure even cooking. Let the sauce simmer to meld the flavors without boiling vigorously.
