Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 8 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine)
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sautéing the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden and cooked through, about 6–7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
  2. Stir in the shredded mozzarella and Parmesan, allowing them to melt into the sauce.
Combining Everything
  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, followed by the drained pasta. Toss everything together until well combined and heated through.
Garnishing and Serving
  1. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and additional cheese, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For a thicker sauce, let it simmer a little longer. This dish can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of cream or milk.
