Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces pasta (penne or fettuccine)
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for lighter option)
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown (about 6-8 minutes). Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter, sauté garlic and onion until translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
  4. Add heavy cream and chicken broth, stir to combine, then sprinkle in Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Return chicken and pasta to the skillet, adjusting seasoning with salt and pepper. Toss to coat everything well and cook for another 2 minutes.
  6. Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the top and garnish with parsley before serving.
