Ingredients

• 12 oz Penne pasta
• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 1 lb Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 tsp Paprika
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season with half the salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until fully cooked and golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the shrimp and season with the remaining salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp and set aside.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to deglaze. Let the broth simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the heavy cream and let it come to a gentle simmer. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Step 8

Return the cooked chicken and shrimp to the skillet, stirring to coat them in the sauce.

Step 9

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
