Method
Pasta Preparation
- 1
Cook the Penne
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 11-12 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Chicken Preparation
- 2
Cook the Chicken
While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Place the chicken in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from skillet and let it rest before slicing.
Alfredo Sauce Preparation
- 3
Make the Alfredo Sauce
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic (from the whole garlic cloves) and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

Combine the Ingredients
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and return it to the pot. Add the Alfredo sauce and sliced chicken to the pasta, tossing gently to coat everything evenly. Cook for an additional 2 minutes over low heat to combine the flavors.
