This creamy garlic Parmesan chicken penne pasta brings together tender, well‑seasoned chicken and a silky, aromatic sauce that clings to every ridge of the pasta. Expect a glossy, spoon‑coating finish with gentle garlic warmth, a savory backbone from chicken broth, and the nutty richness of Parmesan, all lifted by fresh parsley at the end.
For best results, focus on three things: cook the penne just to al dente so it stays pleasantly firm; sear the chicken over sufficiently hot oil to develop a golden crust while keeping the interior juicy; and build the sauce in the same pan so the browned bits infuse every drop. A large pot for the pasta and a wide skillet or other heavy pan for the chicken make the process smooth and efficient.
