Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts, sliced
- 12 oz (340 g) pasta (penne or spaghetti)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream or Greek yogurt for a healthier option
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
- Optional: cherry tomatoes and basil for serving
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pour in heavy cream or Greek yogurt, stirring continuously. Add grated Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing well to coat with the sauce.
- Add cooked pasta to the skillet, toss until evenly coated, and heat through.
Notes
