Instructions
Creating Creamy Chicken Garlic Parmesan Pasta is a breeze when you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat.
5. Add Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the drained fettuccine. Toss everything to coat the pasta and chicken in the creamy sauce.
7. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
By following these steps, you’ll create a dish that’s not only delicious but beautifully presented.
