Indulge in creamy comfort tonight – it's a dish that warms the heart and pleases the palate.

1

Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8 to 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

2

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the chicken. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper, then add it to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is fully cooked through and has golden edges. Once cooked, remove from the skillet and let it rest.

3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

4

Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Bring it to a gentle simmer without boiling. Gradually add the parmesan cheese while stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

5

Slice the cooked chicken into strips, and add it to the sauce, letting it simmer for a couple of minutes.

6

Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the creamy chicken sauce. Toss everything together gently until the pasta is well coated.

7

Serve immediately, garnishing with freshly chopped parsley for an extra touch.
