Instructions
- Melt butter in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in chicken broth, milk, and penne. Bring to a boil and cook on high, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, about 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and cooked chicken to the skillet and continue to cook for approximately 2 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add more milk as needed until desired consistency is reached.
- Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
