Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta With Chicken

I absolutely adore this creamy garlic Parmesan pasta with chicken recipe! Nothing is better than easy flavorful one pan chicken recipes. If you are looking for something simple and absolutely mouthwatering that your family will adore, then this rigatoni pasta is the dish for you. 

Pasta and chicken recipes are amazing especially this one that uses rigatoni, Parmesan, cream, butter, chicken, and all the seasonings. Rigatoni pasta is such a fun and easy noodle to cook with. It’s the spiral one that is short. However you can use any type of pasta you prefer.
