Instructions

Cut chicken breasts into bite size pieces, about 1 inch, and season with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to a skillet over medium high heat.
Add chicken to the hot skillet and brown on all sides for 1-2 minutes (you don’t need to cook it all the way through).
Add minced garlic and sauté for one minute.
Add chicken broth, milk, flour, onion powder, basil, parsley and uncooked pasta to pan and stir well to combine.
Bring to a gentle boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring once or twice during this time.
Remove from heat and stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese.
Season with salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve with veggies, green salad, breadsticks, fruit.
