Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1-inch cubes)
  • 1 lb twisted pasta (fusilli or choice of penne/rotini)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter (divided)
  • 4-5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (divided)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add twisted pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tbsp of butter. Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, and ½ tsp Italian seasoning, cooking until golden brown (5-7 minutes). Set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt another tbsp of butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth.
  4. Lower heat and add Parmesan cheese gradually, stirring until melted. If too thick, incorporate reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.
  5. Return cooked chicken and pasta to the skillet, mixing well to coat everything in the sauce.
  6. Sprinkle with remaining Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
