Instructions

- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, seasoning them with salt and pepper. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine.
- Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the skillet, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
- When the pasta is al dente, drain it and add it directly to the skillet with the creamy chicken sauce. Toss the pasta gently in the sauce.
- Let everything simmer together for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the dish.
- Serve immediately in bowls.
