Description

This Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken with Cheesy Twisted Pasta is a comforting, indulgent dinner made with juicy seared chicken, a rich parmesan garlic cream sauce, and tender pasta folded with melty cheese. Perfect for easy weeknight meals or weekend treats, it combines garlic parmesan chicken pasta, cheesy twisted pasta, and creamy chicken dinner in one irresistible bite.


Ingredients

2 chicken breasts

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

4 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon butter

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated parmesan cheese

8 ounces twisted pasta (like rotini or fusilli)

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons cream cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning


Instructions

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for 5–6 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove and set aside.

2. In the same skillet, lower heat to medium-low and melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

3. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the grated parmesan. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens slightly.

4. While the sauce simmers, cook the twisted pasta according to package directions. Drain and return to the pot.

5. While still hot, mix the pasta with mozzarella, cream cheese, and Italian seasoning until smooth and cheesy.

6. Slice the cooked chicken and arrange it over the cheesy pasta. Pour the garlic parmesan sauce on top. Garnish with more parmesan if desired.

Notes

This dish tastes best when served immediately after cooking.

Add spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or mushrooms for a twist.

Reheat with a splash of cream or milk to maintain the creamy texture.
