  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 12 oz pasta (fettuccine, linguine, or penne)
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, or baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Boil salted water and cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high. Add chicken, season, and cook for 5–7 minutes until browned. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add wine and simmer for 2–3 minutes to reduce.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth. Simmer, then whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth.
  5. Return chicken and pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat. Use reserved pasta water to thin sauce if needed.
  6. Garnish with parsley, extra cheese, or red pepper flakes. Serve hot.

Notes

  • No wine? Use chicken broth with a splash of lemon juice.
  • Add mushrooms, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes for variety.
  • Use cream cheese for extra richness.
