🧄🧀🍝 A rich, velvety garlic-Parmesan cream sauce wraps around tender chicken strips and perfectly cooked twisted pasta. Finished with melted mozzarella and cream cheese for extra indulgence—this is the ultimate cozy dinner.
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
- 12 oz twisted pasta (rotini or fusilli work great)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the twisted pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside. - Sear the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until golden and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside. - Make the Sauce:
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer. - Add the Cheeses:
Stir in Parmesan and cream cheese until melted and smooth. Then add mozzarella and stir until creamy and gooey. - Combine:
Return the chicken to the pan, add the cooked pasta, and toss everything together. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes until fully combined and heated through. - Serve Hot:
Garnish with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan if desired.
