Preparation
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, saving a bit of the pasta water for later use.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burning to maintain its flavor.
- Pour in the chicken broth, bringing it to a gentle simmer to add depth to the sauce.
- Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream along with the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
- Add salt and pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning according to your preference.
- Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet and stir everything to combine, ensuring the pasta is well-coated with the creamy sauce.
- Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh pop of color and flavor before serving.
