Ingredients

2 chicken breasts

8 oz spaghetti

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.

2. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Add cherry tomatoes and sautée until softened.

3. Cook spaghetti according to package instructions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water and drain.

4. Add heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add reserved pasta water to adjust consistency.

5. Return chicken to the pan along with the cooked spaghetti. Toss well to coat in sauce.

6. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and extra cheese. Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

For extra creaminess, use freshly grated Parmesan and avoid pre-shredded versions.

If sauce thickens too much, just add a splash of milk or pasta water when reheating.
