A creamy, one-pot pasta dish with tender chicken and a rich garlic Parmesan sauce, ready in 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Optional: 1 cup broccoli florets or 2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
  4. Add the fettuccine pasta to the skillet. Stir to ensure the pasta is submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally.
  5. If using broccoli, add it during the last 5 minutes of pasta cooking. If using spinach, stir it in during the last 2 minutes until wilted.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.

Notes

  • For a silkier sauce, stir in the Parmesan cheese off the heat.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt or cream cheese for heavy cream for a lighter sauce.
  • Leftover cooked chicken can be used in this recipe.
