Ingredients
  

Group: Chicken and Pasta
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 300 g penne pasta (about 10.5 oz)
Group: Creamy Sauce
  • 250 g Philadelphia cream cheese (about 8.8 oz)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
Group: Vegetables and Flavorings
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large pot
  • Large skillet
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Sear for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
  4. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Return the sliced chicken to the skillet, then add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the Philadelphia cream cheese, stirring until it melts and creates a creamy sauce.
  6. Drain the cooked penne and add it to the skillet, tossing everything together until every piece of pasta is coated in the creamy sauce.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and serve immediately.
