Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 12 oz rotini pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp dried basil

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, boil salted water and cook rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
  2. While pasta cooks, season chicken strips with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Sear chicken strips for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked (165°F internal temperature). Remove from skillet and keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium-low and add heavy cream. Stir occasionally for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Gradually mix in mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan cheeses until melted and combined.
  6. Drain the cooked rotini and add it to the skillet along with the chicken strips. Toss gently to coat everything evenly with the sauce.
  7. Sprinkle dried basil over the dish, mixing once more before serving.
