Ingredients
- 1 pound penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

- Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the drained penne pasta. Toss to coat the pasta and chicken evenly with the sauce.
- Garnish with chopped fresh basil or parsley before serving.
