Make Garlic Chicken Pasta

Recipe Name: Garlic Chicken Pasta

Ingredients:
- 8 ounces of pasta (any type)
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set aside.

2. Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, slice it into thin strips.

3. Make the garlic sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Cook over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes, until the garlic becomes fragrant and slightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

4. Combine the pasta and chicken: Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet with the garlic. Toss everything together until well combined and coated with the garlic sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat everything through.

5. Serve: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and chicken mixture. Toss again to melt the cheese slightly. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.

6. Enjoy: Transfer the garlic chicken pasta to serving plates or bowls. Serve hot and enjoy this delicious and flavorful dish!
