Simple One-pot Chicken Alfredo Pasta Recipe

Instructions

1. In a skillet, brown the chicken (which has been seasoned with salt and pepper) in a little olive oil. There is no need for the chicken to be cooked through as it will be cooked with the sauce later.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for a minute.
3. Add the chicken stock, cream and pasta. I used penne.
4. Give this a stir and bring to a boil. The turn the heat down, cover with a lid and simmer this for 15-20 minutes, or until the pasta is tender. Stir occasionally.
5. If the liquid dries out, add a little more stock and cream and continue cooking.
6. Once the pasta is al dente, remove from the heat and stir in Parmesan cheese.
7. Season with salt (if needed) and plenty of black pepper.
8. Sprinkle chopped Italian flat leaf parsley and serve immediately.
