Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 pound of your favorite pasta (penne, fettuccine, or spaghetti)
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Add cherry tomatoes and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Pour in heavy cream, then add Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
  3. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and add to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat. Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top of the pasta.
  4. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately with optional side drinks or wine.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a splash of white wine or herbs to the sauce.
  • You can prepare the sauce and pasta ahead of time and reheat before serving.
  • Replace heavy cream with coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
