Ingredients

• 400 grams Penne pasta
• 2 pieces Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, shredded
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 4 liters Water

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the penne pasta for 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season them with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

Step 4

Using the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the sour cream and let it cook for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Lower the heat and gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Step 8

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce. Add the sliced chicken on top and gently fold it in.

Step 9

Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chicken Pasta with Sour Cream and Cheese Sauce Zwt3 Western!
