One Pot Cheesy Chicken Alfredo

Oh man, this may not be the healthiest dinner out there, but it sure tastes good for how easy it is! Here is the recipe:

INGREDIENTS

• 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts , cut into bite-sized pieces
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
• 1 (14 oz) can chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cups penne pasta or any bite-sized shape pasta, uncooked
• 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
• 2 cups grated parmesan cheese
• 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Add oil to large skillet pan and heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken and saute for 2-3 minutes or until chicken starts to lightly brown. Add in garlic and saute for another minute.
2. Pour in chicken broth, cream, pasta and basil and mix to combine. Bring to a boil, then cover pan and reduce to a summer. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes or until pasta is fully cooked.
3. Remove from heat and add parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and fully mixed in, then serve.

Again, this is ridiculously easy. I love that I cooked up some chicken and garlic, threw some pasta, broth, and cream in, and was able to walk away from it for 20 minutes. When I came back I added the cheese and bam - a delicious dinner was done! My husband doesn't typically love alfredo stuff but he went for seconds of this. We will definitely have it again.
