Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 oz high-protein chickpea pasta
  • 2 large chicken breasts, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Grill pan

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the chickpea pasta until al dente, reserving half a cup of pasta water.
  2. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then grill in a pan over medium heat until cooked through and golden.
  3. Simmer heavy cream in the same pan and stir in grated parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens.
  4. Toss the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the sauce, incorporating reserved pasta water to reach the desired consistency.

Notes

Ensure chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F. Use high-quality parmesan cheese for the best sauce texture.
