Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cubed)

  • 10 oz rotini pasta

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter

  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup chicken broth

  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ½ tsp paprika

  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning

  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)


Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta:

    • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook rotini according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.

  • Prepare the Chicken:

    • Season the cubed chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning.

    • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown and fully cooked (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from the pan and set aside.

  • Make the Parmesan Sauce:

    • In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.

    • Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.

    • Reduce heat to low and gradually stir in Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens.

  • Combine Everything:

    • Add the cooked rotini and chicken back into the skillet, stirring to coat everything in the creamy sauce.

    • Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top and let it melt.

 

  • Serve:

    • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
