🍝 Creamy Garlic Chicken Pasta

(Golden chicken, thick sauce, real flavor — no garnish, just comfort.)

This is pasta like it’s meant to be: thick creamy sauce clinging to every strand, garlic in the background, and golden slices of juicy chicken on top. Nothing fancy, nothing overly plated — just real food that disappears fast.

🔥 Instructions:
1. Cook pasta:
Boil pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of pasta water, then drain.
2. Sear chicken:
Season chicken slices with salt and pepper. In a hot skillet, sear in olive oil and butter until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. Make the sauce:
In the same pan, sauté garlic until fragrant. Add cream, parmesan, and a bit of pasta water. Simmer until thickened. Season with black pepper and optional chili flakes.
4. Combine:
Toss pasta in the sauce until well coated. Add more pasta water if needed. Top with chicken slices and serve while hot. Let the sauce pool naturally on the plate.
