Ingredients
- 12 ounces angel hair pasta
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing into thin strips.
Step 4
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the butter. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 5
Slowly pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, a little at a time, until fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Let the sauce simmer on low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 7
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the angel hair in the creamy sauce.
Step 8
Top the pasta with the sliced chicken, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
