A quick and easy pasta dish featuring tender rotisserie chicken, creamy sauce, and perfectly cooked pasta. Comfort food at its finest, ready in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (plus extra for serving)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, optional for garnish
  • Pasta (penne, rotini, or fettuccine)

Instructions

  1. Boil the pasta in a large pot of salted water according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Shred or dice the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Add the onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir and let the sauce cook for 5 minutes, thickening slightly.
  6. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  7. Fold in the shredded chicken and cooked pasta, ensuring everything is well-coated with the sauce.
  8. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken and pasta through.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcook the pasta—aim for al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly in the sauce.’, ‘Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.’, ‘Reserve some pasta water before draining—it’s great for adjusting the sauce consistency.’, ‘Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.’]
