Creamy Chicken Pasta

Preparing the Chicken Thighs Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides.

Cooking the Chicken Thighs In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken thighs and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Cooking the Pasta Cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Making the Creamy Sauce In the same skillet used for the chicken, add another tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the milk and heavy cream, then bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Combining the Chicken, Pasta, and Sauce Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss to coat the pasta in the sauce. Slice or shred the cooked chicken thighs and add them to the skillet. Gently toss everything together to combine.

Garnishing and Serving Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve the creamy chicken pasta hot. Enjoy!
