🍗 Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine (optional, but adds great flavor – Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc recommended)
- 1 cup chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 1 pound pasta (penne, spaghetti, linguine, or your favorite shape)
🍝 Instructions:
- Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine (if using) and cook until almost evaporated, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet.
- Toss to coat with the sauce, adding a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
- Serve immediately, garnished with more Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.
📍 Recipe Tips
- High-Quality Broth: Use high-quality chicken broth (or homemade stock) for the best flavor. Low-sodium is recommended.
- Don’t Overcook Chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry chicken. Cook until just done.
- Pasta Water is Key: Reserving some pasta water is crucial. The starchy water helps the sauce cling to the pasta and creates a creamier texture.
- Freshly Grated Cheese: Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and melting.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the sauce throughout the cooking process and adjust the seasoning to your liking.

FAQs
How do I reheat frozen chicken pasta without it becoming mushy?
Freezing cooked pasta with a creamy sauce is not recommended as it often changes the texture upon thawing and reheating. It’s best enjoyed fresh.
Can I bake the chicken instead of cooking it in the skillet for this recipe?
Yes, you can bake the chicken. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through, then add it to the sauce.
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts in this chicken pasta?
Yes, chicken thighs can be used. They may require slightly longer cooking time, so ensure they are cooked through.
How do I make the creamy sauce thicker for my chicken pasta?
If your sauce is too thin, you can simmer it for a longer period to allow it to reduce and thicken naturally. You can also make a slurry of cornstarch and cold water (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) and add it to the sauce during the last few minutes of cooking.
Can I add other vegetables to this creamy chicken pasta sauce?
Definitely! Adding vegetables is a great way to boost the nutritional value and flavor of your chicken pasta. Mushrooms, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, asparagus, peas, and roasted red peppers are all excellent choices.
Can I make this chicken pasta dish ahead of time?
It’s best to cook the pasta and sauce separately and combine them just before serving. You can, however, cook the chicken and make the sauce ahead of time and store them separately in the refrigerator.
