How to Make Chicken Pasta

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  5. Add your choice of vegetables (e.g., broccoli florets, peas, spinach) and cook until tender-crisp.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, milk, and parmesan cheese until smooth.
  7. Pour cream cheese mixture into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Stir in the cooked pasta and reserved pasta water until sauce is creamy and coats the pasta.
  8. Stir in cooked pasta and reserved pasta water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to combine flavors, adding more pasta water if needed to thin the sauce to desired consistency.
  9. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley or your favorite herbs.
