Golden seared chicken in a rich garlic-Parmesan cream sauce, served over cheesy twisted pasta—comfort food done right! (Page 2 ) | June 15, 2025

1. **Cook Pasta:**
Boil pasta in salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

2. **Sear Chicken:**
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken 5–6 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. **Make the Sauce:**
In the same skillet, lower the heat slightly and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

4. **Add Cheese:**
Stir in Parmesan cheese and cook until melted and the sauce thickens slightly, about 3–4 minutes.

5. **Combine:**
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Slice the chicken and place on top. Spoon extra sauce over if desired.

6. **Garnish and Serve:**
Sprinkle with extra Parmesan or chopped parsley. Serve hot!
