Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup fresh basil leaves
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn, as burnt garlic can turn bitter.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then add the cooked pasta to the pot, tossing to coat in the sauce.
  5. Stir in the fresh basil and grated Parmesan, mixing well until everything is creamy and warmed through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with additional basil and Parmesan if desired. Enjoy the symphony of flavors!
