Hey there, foodie friends! 🌟 Let me spill the tea on my absolute favorite quick dinner hack that literally tastes like you’re dining at a fancy restaurant. Trust me, this one’s a total game-changer that’ll have your family thinking you secretly enrolled in culinary school!
Today, I’m sharing my mouthwatering Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta that’s 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 you’ll need (shopping list alert! 📝):
– 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
– Fresh parsley
– Salt and pepper to taste
– A pinch of red pepper flakes (if you’re feeling spicy like me!)
Okay, let’s get cooking, gorgeous!
1. First, get that pasta water boiling – don’t forget to salt it like the Mediterranean Sea! Cook your pasta al dente according to package instructions.
1. While that’s 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! 🙌), melt the remaining butter and sauté that garlic until fragrant. Y’all, 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 – 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 don’t be shy with that pepper!
1. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan (because who doesn’t want more cheese?).
And voilà! You’ve just made a restaurant-quality dinner that’ll have everyone begging for seconds. The sauce is creamy, the chicken is juicy, and honestly? It’s pure comfort in a bowl.
Pro tip: Want to make it even more extra? Add some sautéed mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes. I won’t tell if you don’t! 😉
