One cozy bite, and everyone was asking for seconds!

 Ingredients:

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts

12 oz rotini pasta

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp smoked paprika

½ tsp onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1½ cups heavy cream

1 cup shredded provolone cheese

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

½ cup chicken broth

2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

 How to Make It:

 Season & Sear the Chicken

Season the chicken with garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook for 5–6 minutes per side until beautifully golden and cooked through. Let it rest before slicing. This easy chicken dinner is the perfect comfort meal for busy nights.

 Cook the Rotini

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rotini until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain. It’s the ideal base for this best cheesy pasta and easy family dinner.

 Make the Three-Cheese Provolone Sauce

In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, then slowly add the provolone, mozzarella, and Parmesan, whisking until silky smooth. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed. This creamy garlic sauce creates the ultimate cheesy pasta recipe.

 Combine Everything

Toss the cooked rotini into the sauce until every spiral is coated. Arrange the sliced chicken over the pasta and spoon extra cheese sauce on top. Sprinkle with parsley for the best homemade pasta and restaurant-style dinner experience.

 Serve & Enjoy

Serve immediately while hot and creamy with garlic bread or a crisp salad. Every bite delivers tender chicken and rich cheese sauce, making it a quick weeknight dinner and crowd-pleasing comfort food.
