Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
• 8 ounces pasta (fettuccine or penne works well)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Skewers (wooden or metal)

How to Make Grilled Chicken Skewers with Pasta

1. Soak wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes if using. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
2. In a bowl, combine the chicken cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 cloves of minced garlic, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
3. While the chicken marinates, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
4. Thread the marinated chicken onto the skewers, leaving a little space between each piece for even cooking.
5. Grill the chicken skewers for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
6. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the last clove of minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
7. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, remaining salt, and cooked pasta. Mix well to combine and coat the pasta in the creamy sauce.
8. Remove the pasta from heat and stir in the chopped parsley.
9. Serve the creamy pasta on plates topped with the grilled chicken skewers. Enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken is cooked to the right temperature.
• For added flavor, let the chicken marinate longer if you have time.
• Make sure your grill is preheated for perfect sear marks.

Easy Variations

• Swap out chicken for shrimp or firm tofu for a different protein.
• Add vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes to the skewers.
• Use a different pasta shape, such as farfalle or spaghetti, for variety.

What to Serve With It

• A fresh green salad with a light vinaigrette.
• Garlic bread or a crusty baguette.
• Steamed vegetables like broccoli or asparagus.
• A glass of white wine to complement the creamy pasta.

Storage and Reheating

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream or broth to loosen the sauce.
