Ingredients
- 1 1/4 lb boneless chicken breast
- 12 oz penne pasta
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 oz grated parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 clove garlic
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Method
Boil the penne in well-salted water. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining.
Cut the chicken into strips, season with salt and pepper, and sear in the olive oil over medium-high for 6 minutes until golden and cooked. Set aside.
Melt the butter in the same pan, add the minced garlic, and cook 45 seconds.
Pour in the cream and simmer 3 minutes, then whisk in the Parmesan off the heat until smooth.
Add the drained penne and the chicken, tossing with splashes of pasta water until the sauce clings.
Finish with black pepper and chopped parsley.
