Rustic Italian-Style Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta in a Velvety White Wine Herb Cream Sauce

A creamy, indulgent pasta dish featuring tender chicken, garlic, Parmesan, and a velvety white wine herb sauce.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz penne pasta
  • 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season chicken strips with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in white wine, scraping up any browned bits. Let simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Reduce heat to low, stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
  7. Return chicken to skillet, add cooked pasta, and toss to coat. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  8. Serve garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream. Use a good quality Parmesan for best flavor.
