Ingredients

For the Chicken:

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

For the Rigatoni:

  • 8 ounces rigatoni pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Cook the Rigatoni

Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the rigatoni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken

While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the cooked chicken, coating it in the garlic butter sauce.

4. Prepare the Parmesan Rigatoni

In a separate pot, combine the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese over medium heat. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Add the reserved pasta water gradually until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper.

5. Combine Everything

Add the cooked rigatoni to the Parmesan sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Serve the rigatoni topped with the garlic butter chicken and garnish with fresh parsley.
