Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces Linguine
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the linguine according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the linguine is cooking, season both sides of the chicken breasts with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 3-4 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, and season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips or bite-sized pieces and return them to the skillet. Stir in the chopped parsley.
Add the cooked linguine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy sauce.
Serve the Creamy Chicken on Linguine immediately, garnished with additional parsley and Parmesan cheese if desired.
