A delightful dish combining tender chicken strips and comforting pasta coated in a luscious creamy Parmesan sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups penne pasta
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the Penne: Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken strips, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-6 minutes until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Add Garlic: Next, toss in the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Make it Creamy: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, allowing it to slightly thicken.
  5. Incorporate Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into a smooth sauce.
  6. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked penne to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the pasta is well-coated in the creamy sauce.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Finish with a sprinkle of chopped parsley for a touch of freshness. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

For a twist, substitute penne with another pasta or opt for dairy-free alternatives.
