Ingredients
  

12 oz spaghetti

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook Spaghetti: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water.

    Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the diced chicken. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

        Add Liquids: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

          Incorporate Cheese and Seasoning: Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and the sauce is creamy. Mix in dried thyme and red pepper flakes if using.

            Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked spaghetti and chicken back into the skillet. Toss to combine, adding reserved pasta water as needed to loosen the sauce.

              Season to Taste: Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

                Serve Hot: Plate the creamy chicken spaghetti immediately, garnished with chopped parsley for color and added freshness.
