Ingredients

– 8 ounces fettuccine or penne pasta

Instructions

Creating this Creamy Chicken Pasta is an enjoyable process. Follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and no longer pink in the center, about 6-8 minutes.

4. Prepare the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, allowing the mixture to thicken for about 3-4 minutes.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Season with extra salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing until each piece is well coated with the creamy sauce.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving to add freshness and color.
