This creamy garlic Parmesan chicken pasta offers a luxurious, velvety texture from the smooth sauce, while the crispy golden chicken adds a savory depth. The fresh parsley sprinkled on top brings a bright contrast to the rich, comforting dish.
- Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 8 oz fettuccine pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and slice it into thin strips.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes (if using), then continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce.
- Top with sliced chicken, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
