Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 12 oz (340g) pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your favorite shape)
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the Cheese: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  5. Combine Everything: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss until everything is well coated in the creamy sauce.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra burst of flavor, add fresh basil or thyme to the sauce. Customize the cheese by swapping Parmesan for a mix of cheeses like mozzarella or Gruyère. Boost nutrition by adding sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers.
