Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chicken:
    • 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
    • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, butterflied or beaten down to about ½" thickness
    • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
    • ½ tsp paprika
    • Salt & pepper to taste
  • For the Pasta:
    • 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
    • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
    • ½ jumbo yellow onion, diced (1 cup)
    • 4-6 large cloves garlic, minced
    • 8 oz dry penne pasta, normal or gluten-free
    • 2 cups chicken broth
    • 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
    • ½ cup heavy cream
    • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Season chicken with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add remaining oil and butter. Sauté onions until translucent, then add garlic and cook until fragrant.
  • Add pasta, chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until pasta is al dente, about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and parsley. Return chicken to the pan, heat through and serve.

Notes

  • Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter option.
  • Add vegetables like spinach or bell peppers for extra nutrition.
