Creamy, garlicky pasta with chicken and lots of parmesan. An easy, delicious, 30 minute meal that’s a crowd pleaser.
Ingredients
- 1 lb pasta*
- 1 lb chicken breast cut into bite sized pieces
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 3-4 cloves garlic minced
- 3 Tbsp flour
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 2 1/2 cups milk

- 1 cup finely grated parmesan
Instructions
- Start the pasta cooking in salted, boiling water (be sure to reserve some pasta water when draining)
- Season chicken with garlic powder and S&P
- Heat olive oil over medium-high heat and add in the chicken.
- Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate.
- Add the butter to the skillet and when it’s melted add in the garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the flour, stir and cook another 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in the wine and stir up any bits in the pan. Allow to simmer for about 1 minute.
- Stir in the milk and the cream, reduce the heat and simmer until smooth and thickened.

- Add the chicken back into the sauce along with the cooked pasta.
- Serve with extra parmesan and pepper.
Notes
*I use Mafaldine and prefer a long pasta for this, but any pasta works.
