Ingredients
200 g linguine
2 chicken breasts
1 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the linguine until al dente. Drain and toss with a drizzle of olive oil.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken until golden and cooked through. Let rest and slice thinly.
3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Lower the heat, add heavy cream, and warm gently.
4. Gradually whisk in Velveeta cubes and mozzarella until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
5. Add the cooked linguine and sliced chicken into the sauce. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
6. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately while warm and cheesy.
Notes
Use low-moisture mozzarella for a creamy, non-watery sauce.
Add a splash of milk when reheating leftovers to loosen the sauce.
Fresh herbs or crushed red pepper flakes can elevate the flavor profile.
