One Pot Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

🛒 Ingredients (Check Off As You Measure)

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
• 8 oz fettuccine or spaghetti, broken in half
• 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from pot and set aside.
2. In the same pot, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
3. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then add the pasta. Cook, stirring frequently, for 10-12 minutes or until pasta is al dente and most of the liquid is absorbed.
4. Stir in the cooked chicken and Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese melts and creates a creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
5. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
