Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the penne pasta for 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season them with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.
Using the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the sour cream and let it cook for 2 minutes.
Lower the heat and gradually add the shredded cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the sauce. Add the sliced chicken on top and gently fold it in.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Chicken Pasta with Sour Cream and Cheese Sauce Zwt3 Western!
