Ingredients
1 lb twisted pasta (rotini or fusilli)
1.5 lbs chicken breast, boneless and skinless
3 tablespoons butter
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 cup mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear chicken on both sides until golden and fully cooked. Remove and let rest.
2. In the same skillet, melt the butter and add minced garlic. Cook until fragrant without browning the garlic.
3. Pour in the heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in Parmesan and mozzarella until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed.
4. In a separate pot, boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain well.
5. Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet. Add pasta and toss everything to coat evenly in the sauce.
6. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy deliciousness.
Notes
This dish is best served fresh but reheats well with a splash of cream or milk.
Add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra texture and nutrients.
Swap chicken for shrimp or sausage if you’re feeling adventurous.
