1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste

Water and salt for boiling
👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
1️⃣ Prepare the Chicken
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
2️⃣ Cook the Pasta
Boil pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3️⃣ Make the Creamy Garlic Butter Sauce
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt, pepper, and optional Italian seasoning.
4️⃣ Combine Everything
Slice cooked chicken and add it to the sauce.
Toss in cooked pasta until evenly coated.
Garnish with parsley or extra Parmesan if desired.
5️⃣ Serve
Plate generously and enjoy immediately while warm.
Optional: serve with garlic bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
🧪 METHODS (WHY THIS WORKS)
Searing chicken first → locks in juices for tender, flavorful meat.
Using the same pan for sauce → incorporates flavorful browned bits left from the chicken.
Cream + Parmesan → creates rich, silky sauce that clings perfectly to pasta.
Gentle simmering → prevents sauce from curdling while intensifying flavor.
