Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken and Asparagus Pasta
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 8 oz of fettuccine pasta
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the asparagus and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until tender-crisp. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the heavy cream. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Add the cooked chicken and fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the creamy garlic parmesan sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat everything through.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy!
