My family loved my Garlic Shrimp pasta that I decided to try making it with chicken with slight changes and additions to my recipe. Note: If you enjoy a little heat, crushed red pepper flakes would be amazing to add in with the garlic while it’s sautéing to give the sauce a little kick. 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon (depending on your spice preference) would be perfect.

  12. 1 cupfreshly grated parmesan cheese (divided)
  13. 1 cupchicken broth
  14. 2 tbsp.diced fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Cooking Instructions

20 minutes
  1. 1

    Boil a large part of salted water. Add pasta to boiling water and cook to al dente, according to the package instructions.

  2. 2

    In a medium bowl, combine the garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, black pepper and olive oil together. Cut the chicken breasts in bite sizes. Add the chicken to the oil and spice blend and coat evenly.

  3. 3

    Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reads 165 F on an instant read meat thermometer. Remove the chicken from the pan and cover it with aluminum foil to keep it warm.

  4. 4

    Melt the butter in the skillet over medium-low heat, add the minced garlic and cook for about 2 minutes, or until it’s aromatic. Once the garlic butter is done, spoon out half of it from the pan into a small bowl.

  5. 5

    Put the spaghetti into the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter, mix in 1/4 cup parmesan cheese then mix in 2/3 cup of chicken broth. If it still needs some thinning out, add more chicken broth a little at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

  6. 6

    Add the chicken to the spaghetti and put the rest of the garlic butter on top of both the chicken and spaghetti. Then garnish with fresh parsley, the rest of the parmesan cheese, and some black pepper if desired.
