  • 1 1/2 cups parmesan grated
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet and saute the garlic for 1 minute.
  3. Pour in the cream and simmer gently for 5 minutes.
  4. Whisk in the parmesan until smooth, then stir in the chicken to heat through.

Notes

Loosen a too-thick sauce with a splash of the starchy pasta water.
