Description
A comforting and creamy chicken pasta dish that is sure to impress and delight during any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
- Season the chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper, ensuring all sides are coated. Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.
- Pour the creamy mixture over the chicken breasts, ensuring every piece is coated.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken bakes, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook your pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- When the chicken is ready, remove it from the oven and let it rest briefly. Combine the cooked pasta with the baked chicken and creamy sauce, mixing until evenly coated.
