Let's make it

  1. 01

    Start the pasta

    Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water according to its package. Reserve a mug of the water, then drain.

  2. 02

    Cook the chicken

    Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for approximately 6–8 minutes, turning as needed, until every piece reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a clean plate.

  3. 03

    Build the sauce

    Reduce the heat to medium-low. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the broth and scrape up the browned bits. Stir in the cream and simmer gently for 3 minutes.

  4. 04

    Bring it together

    Add the cooked chicken and pasta. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan. Loosen with a little reserved pasta water if necessary. Serve promptly.

Cook poultry to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C), checked with a food thermometer. FoodSafety.gov guidance ↗
