Directions
- Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into thin, bite-sized pieces. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add a splash of olive oil. Once heated, add the chicken pieces, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken turns golden and is no longer pink in the center.
- While the chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes. Reserve a cup of the pasta water before draining.
- Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low and add minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the ricotta cheese and a splash of chicken broth or reserved pasta water into the skillet with chicken and garlic. Mix gently until the ricotta becomes smooth and creamy, creating a lush sauce.
- Now, add the drained pasta directly into the skillet with the creamy ricotta chicken mixture. Toss gently to combine, ensuring every piece of pasta is coated in the sauce.
- Stir in the chopped fresh herbs for a vibrant pop of color and flavor. Cook for an additional minute on low heat.
- Once thoroughly mixed and heated, remove from the heat and serve hot. Top each plate with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
