Make this creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta in one pot for a rich, satisfying dinner with minimal cleanup. This recipe uses simple pantry staples to create deep flavor quickly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 12 ounces linguine or fettuccine pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let it burn.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the liquid to a boil. Add the pasta, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer according to the pasta package directions, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the pasta is nearly tender (about 8-10 minutes).
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and return the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  7. Return the cooked chicken to the pot. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the chicken is heated through.
  8. Remove from heat. Taste and adjust salt and pepper if needed.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, use fresh garlic instead of pre-minced garlic.
  • If the sauce thickens too much while sitting, add a splash of milk or extra broth to reach your desired consistency.
  • This dish pairs well with a simple side salad or homemade garlic knots.
