Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz rotini pasta
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley (optional)

Method
 

  1. Trim and pat dry the chicken breasts. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and rest.
  3. Boil rotini pasta according to package directions. Drain and toss with a little butter.
  4. In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds.
  5. Add heavy cream and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir in parmesan until melted and smooth.
  6. Slice the chicken into strips. Toss the pasta in the sauce until fully coated.
  7. Plate the pasta, top with sliced chicken, drizzle with extra sauce, and garnish with parsley.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add red pepper flakes to the sauce. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stove or microwave.
