A creamy, cheesy pasta dream that combines tender chicken, al dente spaghetti, and a velvety sauce loaded with flavor. This 30-minute wonder delivers restaurant-quality taste with minimal effort, perfect for busy weeknights or impressing dinner guests with comfort food at its finest.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup cooked spaghetti
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and paprika. Dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off excess.
  • Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  • Cook the onion and garlic: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  • Make the sauce: Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the Parmesan cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  • Combine the chicken and sauce: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and toss to combine with the sauce.
  • Serve: Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked spaghetti, garnished with chopped parsley (if desired).
