Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 lb pasta (such as fettuccine, spaghetti, or penne)
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season the chicken pieces with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
  6. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Add the cooked pasta and chicken to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat everything evenly.
  8. Stir in the chopped parsley.
  9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Vegetarian: Omit the chicken and add roasted vegetables like broccoli or mushrooms.
  • Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a kick.
