Ingredients
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • ½ teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 1 pound elbow macaroni
  • 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup cream cheese
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 (15-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange the chicken breasts on a foil-wrapped baking sheet. Brush with olive oil and season the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, cream cheese, garlic, Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, and remaining salt and pepper.
  4. Bring to a simmer and stir until the cheese is melted. Remove from the heat. Add the artichoke hearts, and stir to combine. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl combine the pasta and cream sauce. Stir to combine.
  6. Top with sliced chicken, and, if using, garnish with the chopped parsley, and serve.
