Creating Creamy Chicken and Pasta is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes.
- Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in Cream and Broth: Add heavy cream and chicken broth to the skillet. Stir well to combine.

- Incorporate Cheese: Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy.
- Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss gently until the pasta is coated in the creamy sauce.
- Garnish: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
