Calories: 634kcal
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1 pound small pasta I used gemelli
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups garlic parmesan sauce store-bought or homemade!
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup chopped parsley
- ¼-½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Set an extra-large sauté pan (with a lid) on the stovetop over high heat. Add the broth to the pan, cover, and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, stir in the pasta and raw chicken chunks. Stir well so that the pasta is mostly covered with broth. Then cover again and simmer for 5-6 minutes.
- Remove the lid and add in the Garlic Parmesan Sauce, heavy cream, and crushed red pepper. Simmer for another 2 minutes to thicken the sauce and finish cooking the chicken. Then sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.

Notes
Let the chicken pasta cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the microwave in short bursts at 50% power, or on the stovetop over lower heat. You might want to add a splash of cream or milk to loosen the Parmesan garlic sauce.
