Hey there, foodie friends! ๐ Let me spill the tea on my absolute favorite quick dinner hack that literally tastes like youโre dining at a fancy restaurant. Trust me, this oneโs a total game-changer thatโll have your family thinking you secretly enrolled in culinary school!
Today, Iโm sharing my mouthwatering Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta thatโs totally Instagram-worthy but takes less than 30 minutes to whip up. I mean, who has time for complicated recipes after a long day, right?
What youโll need (shopping list alert! ๐):
โ 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
โ 8 oz fettuccine pasta
โ 4 tablespoons butter (donโt skimp on this, honey!)
โ 4 cloves garlic, minced
โ 1 cup heavy cream
โ 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
โ Fresh parsley
โ Salt and pepper to taste
โ A pinch of red pepper flakes (if youโre feeling spicy like me!)
Okay, letโs get cooking, gorgeous!
1. First, get that pasta water boiling โ donโt forget to salt it like the Mediterranean Sea! Cook your pasta al dente according to package instructions.
1. While thatโs happening, season your chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and cook that chicken until golden brown. Set aside.
1. In the same pan (hello, fewer dishes to wash! ๐), melt the remaining butter and sautรฉ that garlic until fragrant. Yโall, your kitchen is about to smell AMAZING!
1. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Once it starts to simmer, add the Parmesan cheese. Keep stirring until it gets all thick and creamy โ this is where the magic happens!

1. Add the chicken back to the pan, toss in your cooked pasta, and give everything a good mix. Season to taste, and donโt be shy with that pepper!
1. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan (because who doesnโt want more cheese?).
And voilร ! Youโve just made a restaurant-quality dinner thatโll have everyone begging for seconds. The sauce is creamy, the chicken is juicy, and honestly? Itโs pure comfort in a bowl.
Pro tip: Want to make it even more extra? Add some sautรฉed mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes. I wonโt tell if you donโt! ๐
