Comments: 20 minutes prep and 30 minutes total time
2/26/2018 - I used precooked chicken and a half box each of linguine and angel hair pasta. There was too much pasta so the result was quite dry. I used 1/2 teaspoon of salt substitute and 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and substituted 1 teaspoon of garlic powder for the minced cloves of garlic.
2/12/2019 - I started with 3 breasts, weighing 1.5 lb, so I scaled up the recipe. The amounts were 2 cups whole milk, 2 cups chicken bouillon, 3 cloves of garlic, 3 cups of uncooked rotini, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan, 1 teaspoon of solt substitute, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. I cooked the chicken with the burner set to # 3. When it was finished, it looked too juicy in the pan, but it firmed up quickly afterwards.
2/11/2023 - I had 0.9 lb chicken breast tenders which I cooked for over 7 minutes on the first side and 3 minutes on the second. I substituted bouillon for the stock and 2% milk for whole. For the pasta, I used linguine that was cooked separately. There was a lot of liquid in the pan when I served it.
