Ingredients:
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 pound of chicken breast, diced
- 8 ounces of pasta (penne or rotini)
- 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Pasta: Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to the instructions on the package until it reaches an al dente texture. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Chicken: In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Incorporate the minced garlic and diced chicken, cooking until the chicken is golden brown and thoroughly cooked, approximately 5-7 minutes.
3. Create the Sauce: Lower the heat, then mix in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, cooking until the sauce achieves a creamy and smooth consistency. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.
4. Combine and Serve: Introduce the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it to ensure it is well-coated in the sauce. Garnish with fresh basil and serve while hot.
Tips:
- For a hint of spice, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Enhance the flavor by incorporating a splash of white wine into the sauce prior to adding the cream.
- Opt for fresh Parmesan for optimal results, as it melts more seamlessly into the sauce.
Notes:
This swift and delectable dish features tender chicken bites enveloped in a rich, garlicky Parmesan sauce, making it an ideal choice for a simple yet luxurious weeknight meal.
Pairing:
Accompany with garlic bread and a refreshing Caesar salad. A glass of Chardonnay or sparkling water with a slice of lemon pairs beautifully with the dish.
