  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz rotini pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by gathering all ingredients and prepping the chicken by cutting it into uniformly-sized pieces. Mince the garlic thoroughly for optimal flavor.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom for extra flavor.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked rotini pasta and toss gently to coat everything evenly in the parmesan sauce. Allow everything to heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of white wine during the sauce phase or topping with fresh basil. Be cautious not to overcook the pasta; it should be al dente to prevent a mushy texture.
