This flavorful pasta dish features tender chicken breast cooked in a creamy garlic sauce, tossed with al dente pasta and fresh herbs. It's a delightful fusion of kosher American cooking with a comforting Italian twist.

Ingredients

• Pasta (penne or fusilli) - 200 grams
• Chicken breast - 300 grams, diced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons

• Heavy cream - 150 ml
• Parmesan cheese - 50 grams, grated
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and season with salt and black pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
