Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add your penne or rigatoni pasta and cook according to package instructions for about 10-12 minutes, until al dente. Reserve about ½ cup of the pasta water before draining, then drain the rest and set the pasta aside.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Season the sliced chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate to keep warm.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté for about 60 seconds, stirring constantly, until fragrant and lightly golden.
- Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, scraping the skillet's bottom to deglaze. Let the broth simmer for about 2 minutes to enhance the flavor.
- Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the plain Greek yogurt until smooth. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until it melts into a creamy sauce.
- Return the drained pasta and seared chicken to the skillet, tossing to coat well in the garlic parmesan sauce. Adjust the consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
- Serve the 30 Minutes Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.
