How to make Creamy Garlic Chicken Pasta
Cooking Instructions
Pour salted water into a pot and bring it to a boil. Cook the pasta and save half a cup of the cooking water.
Pour olive oil into a large deep fry pan over medium heat. Brown the chicken breasts. Let them rest for a few minutes, then slice into chunks.
Rinse and dry the pan, then put it on medium heat. Add butter. Once melted, add crushed garlic and stir until aromatic.
Pour whipping cream into the garlic mix and stir. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for four minutes, or until the sauce starts to thicken.
Pour in the reserved cooking water, Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and the cooked chicken. Stir the mixture.
Add the cooked pasta and mix it with the sauce. Garnish with more fresh parsley.

FAQS
How can I make creamy garlic chicken pasta gluten-free?

Creamy garlic chicken pasta pairs well with a fresh green salad, garlic bread, or steamed vegetables like broccoli or asparagus. These sides complement the rich flavors of the pasta and add a nice balance to the meal.
Can I store leftover creamy garlic chicken pasta, and how long will it last?
Yes, you can store leftover creamy garlic chicken pasta in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply warm it on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or cream to loosen the sauce if needed.
What can I use as a substitute for whipping cream in this recipe?

How do I ensure my garlic chicken pasta has the perfect creamy sauce consistency?
To achieve the perfect creamy sauce consistency for your garlic chicken pasta, make sure to simmer the sauce on low heat until it thickens slightly. Adding reserved pasta cooking water helps to adjust the consistency, so add it gradually until you reach your desired creaminess.
