Cheesy Twisted Garlic Chicken (Print-Friendly Version)

Tender chicken and twisted pasta blend in a creamy garlic parmesan sauce for a cozy, flavor-packed meal.

# What You’ll Need to Make This:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

02 - 2 chicken breasts

03 - 1 teaspoon salt

04 - 1 teaspoon black pepper

05 - 4 cloves garlic, minced

06 - 1 cup heavy cream

07 - 1 cup chicken broth

08 - 1 cup grated parmesan cheese

09 - 340 grams twisted pasta, such as rotini or fusilli

→ Garnish

10 - 1 tablespoon chopped parsley (optional)

# How to Prepare:

01 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, then sear on both sides until golden and cooked through, about 5–7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and slice.

02 - In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.

03 - Add grated parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir gently until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

04 - Cook twisted pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water following package instructions until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Drain well.

05 - Return sliced chicken to the skillet and simmer in the creamy garlic sauce for 2–3 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.

06 - Add cooked and drained pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat thoroughly in the sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving if desired.

# Extra Tips:

01 - For the most velvety sauce, use freshly grated parmesan rather than pre-shredded varieties.

02 - Ensure pasta is cooked just until al dente for optimal texture.

03 - The sauce will thicken upon standing; add a splash of cream to loosen when reheating.
