Ingredients

For the One-Pot Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Rotini

1 lb rotini pasta this twisty pasta holds onto the creamy sauce beautifully
1 tbsp olive oil essential for cooking the chicken to perfection

4 cloves garlic, minced the star ingredient that adds savory deliciousness

1 cup heavy cream this is what makes it creamy and dreamy
1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated a sprinkle of cheesy goodness that brings it all together
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped

Method

Step 1: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Step 2: Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
Step 4: Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Step 5: Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Taste as you go and make it your own!
Step 6: Serve immediately, garnished with chopped fresh parsley for that extra touch of color.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also replace the chicken with shrimp or plant-based protein for a vegetarian option.
