Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 12 oz pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your favorite shape)
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it reduce slightly for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Reduce heat to low and stir in heavy cream. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  6. Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring constantly until melted and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and cooked pasta to the sauce. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For the creamiest results, make sure your sauce doesn't boil once you add the cream and cheese. Gentle heat ensures a smooth, luxurious texture that won't separate. You can add vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or peas during the cooking process to make it even more nutritious.
