Ingredients
- 12 oz (340g) pasta (penne, rigatoni, or rotini)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cubed
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups (300g) mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, and corn)
- 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
- 2 cups (480ml) chicken broth
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté the Vegetables
In the same skillet, add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until heated through.
4. Make the Creamy Sauce
Sprinkle the flour evenly over the vegetables and stir well to coat everything. Slowly pour in the chicken broth while stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Add the heavy cream, dried thyme, dried sage, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens.
5. Combine Everything
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the drained pasta. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until everything is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
6. Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top and serve warm.
