 Instructions:

Step 1: Season and Cook the Chicken 🔥

  1. Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5–6 minutes per side , or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F/75°C ). Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Garlic 🧄

  1. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter .
  2. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds–1 minute , until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3: Make the Cream Sauce 🥛

  1. Pour in the chicken broth , scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan to release extra flavor. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  2. Stir in the heavy cream , grated Parmesan cheese , Italian seasoning , and red pepper flakes (if using ). Whisk until the sauce is smooth and the cheese is fully melted.
  3. Simmer the sauce for 3–4 minutes , stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper , if needed.

Step 4: Combine Everything 🍝

  1. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the creamy sauce. Let them heat through for 1–2 minutes .
  2. Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss gently to coat the pasta in the sauce.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve 🍴

  1. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
  2. Serve hot with extra Parmesan cheese on top, if desired. Pair with garlic bread or a side salad for a complete meal.

Tips for Success:

  • Add Veggies: Stir in sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.
  • Make It Spicier: Increase the red pepper flakes or add a dash of hot sauce for more heat.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days . Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, adding a splash of cream or broth to loosen the sauce.
  • Freeze Option: Freeze portions of the chicken and sauce (without pasta) in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months . Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
