Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Sauté the Chicken
Warm the olive oil in a wide skillet set over medium-high heat, allowing it to shimmer before adding ingredients. Add the diced chicken pieces.
Tip: Ensure the chicken pieces are similar in size for even cooking.
Cook for about 5–7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown on all sides.
Step 2: Add Garlic and Seasonings
Add the minced garlic along with the Italian herbs, salt, and pepper, stirring gently to blend the flavors.
Trick: Sauté the garlic for just 30 seconds to prevent it from burning and turning bitter.
Cook until fragrant, usually about 1 minute.
Step 3: Pour in Liquids
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine them evenly in the pan.
Tip: Scrape the bottom of the pan gently to incorporate any browned bits—that’s extra flavor!
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 4: Add the Pasta
Stir in the pasta, ensuring it’s fully submerged in the liquid.
Trick: If using a different type of pasta, adjust the liquid quantity as needed.
Cover the skillet and simmer for 10 to 12 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the pasta reaches a perfect al dente texture.
Step 5: Stir in Parmesan Cheese
Once the pasta is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
Tip: Add the cheese gradually to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth sauce.
Keep stirring until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce turns smooth and creamy.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Take the pan off the heat, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately while hot.
