Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces rotini pasta
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook in the skillet for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add olive oil and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Allow to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Mix in the Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Cook the rotini pasta in boiling salted water until al dente, drain, and add to the sauce in the skillet.
  7. Slice the chicken and gently toss it with the pasta and sauce until well-coated.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley.

Notes

For a lighter version, swap heavy cream for half-and-half. To accommodate dietary needs, use gluten-free rotini.
