Ingredients:
2 cups ziti pasta
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons flour
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 cup whole milk
1 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
1 cup Parmesan garlic sauce
¼ cup yellow onion, diced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
Salt and black pepper to taste
Directions:
Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the ziti pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the heavy whipping cream and whole milk, cooking until the mixture thickens.
Add the Cheese and Seasonings: Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Parmesan garlic sauce, Italian seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Combine: Return the cooked chicken and ziti pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Serve: Remove from heat and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm and enjoy this delicious garlic Parmesan chicken pasta skillet!
