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.
