Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked pasta (penne, rotini, or fettuccine work well)

• 2 chicken breasts, diced

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Optional: chopped parsley or basil for garnish

Instructions

1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

2. Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1–2 minutes. Add heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

3. Add Cheese: Lower the heat and stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.

4. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add cooked pasta and chicken to the sauce, tossing until everything is coated in the creamy goodness.

5. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use freshly shredded mozzarella for smoother melting.

• Add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition.

• Don’t overcook the pasta; al dente works best as it absorbs the sauce without getting mushy.
