Tips:

  • Use fresh, flavorful ingredients: High-quality garlic, herbs, and olive oil will make a big difference in the overall taste of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can brown properly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Deglaze the pan with white wine: This will help to dissolve any browned bits on the bottom of the pan and add a delicious flavor to the sauce.
  • Simmer the sauce until it is thickened: This will help to concentrate the flavors and create a rich, flavorful sauce.
  • Add the pasta shells and cook until they are al dente: This means that they should be tender but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the pan, topped with grated Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

This garlic chicken with pasta shells is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. With its flavorful garlic sauce, tender chicken, and al dente pasta, this dish is a perfect balance of flavors and textures.
