Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken with Cheesy Twisted Pasta

A rich and indulgent creamy garlic chicken dish served with cheesy twisted pasta, perfect for impressing your loved ones.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 8 ounces Rotini pasta
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • To taste Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients. Chop your garlic and parsley, and have everything within reach.
  2. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about a cup of the pasta water, and then drain the pasta and set it aside.
  3. Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season each chicken breast with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sear them for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  4. Make the Creamy Sauce: Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and set it aside to rest. In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic, cooking for about a minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and stir. Lower the heat to medium and bring it to a gentle simmer. Toss in the Parmesan cheese and keep stirring until it melts into the cream.
  5. Combine Everything: Once the sauce is creamy, add the cooked pasta and chicken, tossing until well-coated. Stir in the parsley and red pepper flakes.
  6. Serve and Enjoy: Plate your creation, slice the chicken for presentation, and serve hot.

Notes

Consider serving with a crisp salad or garlic bread. Pairs well with white wine.
