One-Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta


Source: http://damndelicious.net/2014/10/11/one-pot-garlic-parmesan-pasta/

2 T (1 oz) Olive Oil
2 lbs Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast, cut into bite size pieces
8 Cloves Garlic, Minced (Next time more!)
4 T Butter
4 C Chicken Broth
2 C Whole Milk (Next time half and half!)
Kosher Salt and Pepper, to taste
16 oz Fettuccine Noodles
1/2 C Parmesan, Grated

Heat the olive oil in a large dutch oven on medium heat. Add chicken pieces. Cover and cook until the chicken is nearly done. Turn up the heat to high, add the garlic, and cook uncovered until all the water is gone, and the chicken is browned and starting to stick to the bottom of the pan. Turn the heat down to medium and add butter. Stir until the butter is completely melted.

Add chicken broth, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix well and bring to a boil. Add fettuccine noodles and simmer until the pasta is cooked to your taste. If the mixture is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.

Remove from heat. Stir in Parmesan and serve with a veggie side dish.
