- 8 ounces linguini
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
- ¼ cup (31 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups (360 g) chicken broth
- 1 cup (238 g) heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup (50 g) parmesan cheese, shredded
- 2 cups (280 g) rotisserie chicken, diced
- parsley, chopped for garnish
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook al dente, according to package instructions (about 8-10 minutes). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, draining the rest. Set aside.
In a large non-stick skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Whisk in flour, cooking for 1-2 minutes or until golden. Slowly whisk in chicken broth and then heavy cream. Continue cooking until the sauce thickens slightly.
Add parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is melted.
Add cooked pasta and chicken. Stir to combine. Add reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency. (I added ½ cup.)
Cook for 3-5 minutes, or until chicken and pasta are warmed through.
Garnish with parsley. Enjoy! (This is a mild dish, be sure to salt & pepper to taste!)
