Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 10 oz rotini pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz Velveeta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the rotini in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and reserve some pasta water.

  4. Stir in heavy cream, Velveeta, mozzarella, and Parmesan until melted and combined. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water as needed.
  5. Toss cooked rotini into the sauce until well coated, then simmer briefly to absorb flavors.
  6. Plate the creamy rotini alongside seared chicken, garnished with fresh parsley.
