Ingredients

10 oz pasta (penne or rotini)
2 chicken breasts, sliced
2 tbsp butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper, to taste

Ingredient Tips

Penne or rotini works best because the sauce clings well to their shape, giving you more flavor in every bite.

Fresh garlic adds a deep, rich aroma that defines the sauce, so avoid using garlic powder if possible.

Using freshly grated Parmesan helps the sauce melt smoothly and enhances the flavor.

How to Make Creamy Garlic Chicken Pasta

Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

While the pasta cooks, season the sliced chicken with salt and pepper.

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the chicken and cook until golden and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

Pour in the heavy cream and stir gently, allowing it to heat and begin to thicken slightly.

Add the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix it into the sauce.

Add the cooked pasta and toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated in the creamy sauce.

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this pasta warm with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan or fresh parsley on top.

Pair it with a simple salad or roasted vegetables to balance the richness.

Garlic bread is also a perfect side to soak up the creamy sauce.
