Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz penne pasta
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley optional

Instructions
 

  • Boil salted water and cook penne until al dente (10–11 minutes). Drain and set aside.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, cook 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute until a paste forms. Slowly whisk in broth and cream. Simmer 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
