# # # Caesar Chicken with Garlic Parmesan Rotini 🍗🧄🧀
Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
* 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
* 1 tbsp olive oil
* 1 tsp Italian seasoning
* ½ tsp paprika
* ½ tsp garlic powder
* ½ tsp black pepper
* Salt to taste
For the Pasta:
* 12 oz (340 g) rotini pasta
* 2 tbsp butter
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1 cup heavy cream
* ½ cup chicken broth
* ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
* ½ cup Caesar dressing
* ½ tsp black pepper
* Salt to taste
* ½ cup reserved pasta water, if needed
For Garnish:
* ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
* Crushed croutons (optional)
Instructions:
1\. Cook the Rotini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.
2\. Season the Chicken: Rub the chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
3\. Cook the Chicken: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate and let it rest before slicing.
4\. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30–60 seconds until fragrant.
5\. Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir and simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.
6\. Add Parmesan and Caesar Dressing: Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Caesar dressing until smooth. Season with black pepper and adjust the salt to taste.
7\. Combine the Pasta: Add the cooked rotini to the skillet and toss until coated in the creamy garlic Parmesan Caesar sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
8\. Add the Chicken: Slice the rested chicken into strips and arrange over the pasta. Spoon extra sauce over the chicken.
9\. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, and crushed croutons if desired. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
