Cooking

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and Italian seasoning. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  • Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens. Add the cooked chicken and pasta back into the skillet; toss to coat evenly in the creamy sauce.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and more Parmesan cheese if desired. Your dish is ready to serve!

Notes

For leftovers, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of cream or chicken broth. Consider adding veggies like spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for added nutrition.
