Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • ½ jumbo yellow onion
  • 4-6 large cloves garlic
  • 8 oz dry penne pasta
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley

Equipment

  • large pan

Method
 

Cooking Steps
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the Italian seasoning, paprika, salt & pepper. Pat the chicken dry and rub both sides with the seasoning mixture.
  2. Bring a large pan to medium heat. Once hot, add avocado oil. Then, add seasoned chicken and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165F. Remove chicken from the pan and set it aside to rest.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and add more avocado oil and butter. Add onion and season it with salt. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until beginning to get tender and translucent. Add garlic and stir, cooking for 1 minute longer.
  4. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up all the browned bits stuck to the bottom. Allow the broth to come to a light boil. Add the dry pasta and stir to make sure that the pasta is submerged in the broth.
  5. Cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes or until the pasta is al-dente.
  6. Turn off the heat and add in the parmesan, heavy cream and parsley. Stir until the parmesan is melted and the sauce is warm and slightly thickened. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed.
  7. Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it to the pan along with the pasta. Toss to combine. Serve & enjoy!
