Creamy Garlic Chicken Pasta Recipe

8 oz fusilli pasta

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

1 tablespoon olive oil

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Cook fusilli pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper and sauté until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Pour in heavy cream, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let simmer until sauce thickens, about 4-5 minutes.

Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Return cooked chicken to the skillet, adding cooked pasta as well. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the creamy sauce.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
