INGREDIENTS
 1 lb Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, Cut into Bite-Sized Pieces
 2 tbsp Colavita 100% Olive Oil
 2 tbsp Mlekpol Extra Whipped Butter
 6 6 Cloves Garlic, Minced
 ½ cup White Wine
 ½ cup Chicken Broth
 1 ½ cups Heavy Cream
 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese
 1 lb Penne Pasta
 Salt
 Pepper
 ¼ tsp Mlekpol Extra Whipped Butter

Cook the Chicken
1

Heat the Colavita 100% Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken in batches and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5 minutes per batch. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.

Make the Sauce
2

Melt the Mlekpol Extra Whipped Butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the wine and bring to a simmer, then simmer for 2 minutes.

Add the Broth and Cream
3

Whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.

Grate in the Parmesan Cheese
4

Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Stir in the Parsley and Season
5

Stir in the chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to taste.

Cook the Pasta
6

While the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta and reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water.

Assemble the Dish
7

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the pasta evenly. Add a splash of the reserved pasta water if the sauce seems too thick.

Return the Chicken
8

Add the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to combine.

Serve and Enjoy
