Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 12 oz pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your favorite shape)
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Reduce heat to low and gradually whisk in parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy.
  5. Add shredded rotisserie chicken, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and heat through.
  6. Add drained pasta to the skillet along with a splash of reserved pasta water. Toss to coat evenly.
  7. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top, cover, and let melt for 2-3 minutes.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Use reserved pasta water to thin sauce if too thick. Add cheese off heat to prevent curdling. Short pasta shapes like penne work best. Reheat with splash of milk or cream to restore texture.
