Instructions

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Add chicken to the stockpot and cook until golden, about 2-3 minutes; set aside and keep warm.
Melt butter in the stockpot. Add shallot, and cook, stirring frequently, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Whisk in flour and basil until lightly browned, about 1 minute.
Stir in chicken broth, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
Stir in half and half, and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in Parmesan until melted, about 1 minute; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Stir in pasta, chicken and parsley. If the mixture is too thick, add more chicken broth as needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.

Notes

*Half and half is equal parts of whole milk and cream. For 1 cup half and half, you can substitute 3/4 cup whole milk + 1/4 cup heavy cream or 2/3 cup skim or low-fat milk + 1/3 cup heavy cream.
