Hey there, foodie friends! Let me tell you about my absolute favorite go-to dinner recipe that’ll make you feel like you’re eating at a fancy restaurant while chilling in your PJs. Trust me, this 15-minute Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is about to become your new bestie in the kitchen!
Y’all, I discovered this recipe during one of those crazy weeknights when I was totally not in the mood to spend hours cooking. Now it’s my secret weapon for impressing unexpected guests or just treating myself to something special without all the fuss.
Here’s what you’ll need (I know you’re already excited!):
– 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 8 oz fettuccine pasta
– 4 tablespoons butter (don’t skimp on this, honey!)
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish (because we’re fancy like that!)
Now, let me walk you through this magic (and seriously, if you love these kinds of quick yet impressive recipes, make sure to follow me on Newsbreak for daily dinner inspiration! 😘)
Instructions:
1. Cook your pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, let’s get this show on the road!
2. Season those chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Y’all know I love my seasoning!
3. In a large skillet (my favorite pan gets so much action with this recipe), melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat.
4. Cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
5. In the same pan (because who wants to wash extra dishes?), add remaining butter and garlic. Let it get all fragrant and delicious for about 30 seconds.
6. Pour in that heavy cream (calories don’t count when it tastes this good!), and let it simmer for 2 minutes.
7. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until it’s all melty and gorgeous.
8. Toss in your cooked pasta and chicken, and give everything a good mix.
9. Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan because more cheese is always the answer!
OMG, y’all, the sauce is so creamy and rich, you’ll think you died and went to pasta heaven! And the best part? It literally takes 15 minutes from start to finish. Like, who doesn’t have 15 minutes for this kind of deliciousness?
