Step 1

Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Use a skillet large enough to fit the pasta.

Step 3

Heat oil over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook for 2 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove onto plate and rest for 5 minutes, then slice while pasta is cooking.

Step 4

Add milk, chicken broth and garlic. Bring to simmer then add pasta.

Step 5

Move pasta around every 30 seconds or so until it is softened (around 3 minutes) so it doesn't stick. Once pasta is softened, reduce heat to medium and stir every couple of minutes.

Step 6

At about 9 - 10 minutes, the pasta should be almost cooked but there should still be liquid covering the base of the skillet. Add cream and parmesan and mix.

Step 7

Simmer, stirring occasionally, for ~2 minutes, until sauce is thickened and pasta is cooked. If you cook it too long and the sauce goes gluggy, add a splash of hot tap water - will go back to silky with a few tosses.

Step 8

Adjust salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated parmesan and parsley!
