Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 12 oz pasta (penne, bowtie, or your favorite shape)
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (halal-certified)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (halal-certified)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (halal-certified)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (halal-certified)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or ghee
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente, drain and set aside reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  2. In the same pot, melt butter over medium heat, add chopped onion and cook until translucent (3-4 minutes), then add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, bring to a gentle simmer, reduce heat to low, stir in Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and let sauce thicken slightly for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add shredded rotisserie chicken to the sauce, followed by cooked pasta, stir gently to coat everything, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if sauce is too thick.
  5. Turn off heat and stir in grated parmesan cheese until melted, garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Let rotisserie chicken cool slightly before shredding; reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency; sauce thickens as it sits so add broth if needed; works with various pasta shapes
