Ingredients
 
 

  • 16 ounces chicken breast - (1 lb.) skinless and boneless
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic - minced
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 package spaghetti - about 16 oz./1 lb.
  • 3/4 cup half-and-half cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan - freshly grated (plus more for serving)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil - chopped
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt the butter in the electric skillet at 350°F. Add the chicken and sauté for 5 mins.
  • Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  • Add the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to loosen up any caramelized bits.
  • Add the spaghetti noodles. Cover and simmer until the pasta has softened, about 15 minutes.
  • Lower the temperature to 250°F. Add the cream and the Parmesan and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
  • Serve immediately with the basil garnish (if using) and extra Parmesan cheese at the table.

Equipment

Electric skillet (12" or larger)

Notes

  • If you don’t have a 12″ electric skillet or larger, you can use any other kind of shorter pasta like penne, rotini or simply break the spaghetti noodles in half when adding them to the skillet.
  • If using a skillet larger than 12″, the broth may evaporate quicker, so keep an eye on the levels, adding more if needed.
