Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz rotelle pasta
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 15 oz artichoke hearts, quartered
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotelle pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest. Once slightly cooled, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the artichoke hearts to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and lemon juice. Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to slightly thicken.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Add the cooked pasta and chicken pieces to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the sauce.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy warm!
