Mediterranean Herb Chicken Penne in Creamy Garlic Sauce

Serve immediately while hot, with a side of garlic bread or a crisp green salad.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or broth to refresh the sauce.

Variations
Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for a nutritional boost.

Use rotisserie chicken for a faster prep.

Make it lighter by substituting half-and-half for heavy cream.

FAQ
Can I use a different pasta shape?
Yes! Fusilli, rigatoni, or farfalle all work well and hold the sauce beautifully.

What’s the best substitute for heavy cream?
Half-and-half or a mix of milk and cream cheese can work in a pinch.

Can I make this ahead of time?
The sauce is best fresh, but you can prep the chicken and veggies ahead and finish cooking when ready to serve.
