How to Make Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta

  4. Make the Sauce: Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer while stirring.
  5. Stir in Parmesan: Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat, using reserved pasta water to achieve desired creaminess.
  7. Finish with Chicken: Return sliced chicken to the skillet, toss gently to combine, season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
