Steps

1

Cook pasta as per packaging instructions. While waiting for pasta to cook, season chicken with garlic powder, salt and pepper.
2

Then, heat oil in a pan over medium-high and add in the chicken. Cook the chicken, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove to a plate, and set aside.
3

Once pasta is cooked, drain and reserve some pasta water, then set aside.
4

In the same pan used earlier to cook the chicken, add butter. When the butter has melted, add garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes.
5

Stir in the flour, and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
6

Add chicken broth and stir up any bits in the pan. Allow to simmer for 1 minute.
7

Add in milk and cream, reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce is smooth and has thickened.
8

Stir in parmesan and season with salt and pepper. At this point, thin the sauce with pasta water, if desired.
9

Add cooked chicken and pasta back into the pan. Mix well.
10

Remove from heat, garnish with parsley, and serve with more parmesan and pepper, if desired.
