Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breast, cubed
  • 12 oz fettuccine or linguine pasta
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add cubed chicken and cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  3. Break pasta in half and add to the pot along with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  4. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is al dente and most liquid is absorbed.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

For extra creaminess, use freshly grated Parmesan instead of pre-shredded cheese. Don't skip breaking the pasta - it helps everything cook evenly in one pot. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of chicken broth to reach desired consistency.
