Ingredients

Scale
  • 10.5 ounces fusilli pasta
  • 2 cups diced chicken breast
  • 1 cup chopped artichoke hearts
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Olive oil (for cooking)
  • Salt (for pasta water)

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add fusilli pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle in some olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add diced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. The chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  4. Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens, creating a luscious creamy chicken artichoke pasta sauce.
  6. Gently fold the cooked fusilli pasta into the creamy sauce, tossing until the pasta is evenly coated.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy your homemade creamy chicken artichoke pasta!
