The creamy garlic sauce balances bold flavor with a velvety smooth texture, while the cheesy spaghetti ties everything together into one decadent meal. Perfect for busy weeknights or special gatherings, this recipe is designed to impress without requiring complicated steps in the kitchen.

What Makes This Chicken So Creamy and Flavorful?

The secret lies in the sauce. Garlic, Parmesan cheese, and heavy cream create a luscious base that coats each piece of chicken. When combined with herbs and a hint of butter, the result is a savory richness that’s impossible to resist. Pairing it with cheesy spaghetti amplifies the comfort factor—because who doesn’t love pasta loaded with cheese?

Ingredients for the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken with Cheesy Spaghetti

Chicken Breasts – The star protein, juicy and tender, perfect for soaking up the creamy sauce.
Garlic – Brings a robust depth of flavor that defines the dish.
Butter – Adds richness and helps develop that golden sear on the chicken.
Heavy Cream – Essential for the creamy sauce, giving it body and smooth texture.
Parmesan Cheese – Salty, nutty, and savory, it thickens the sauce and complements the pasta.
Spaghetti – The perfect pasta base for soaking up every drop of the cheesy sauce.
Mozzarella Cheese – Melted into the spaghetti for that gooey, cheesy bite.
Olive Oil – Keeps the chicken tender and adds a touch of Mediterranean flavor.
Herbs (parsley, oregano, or basil) – For freshness and aromatic depth.
Salt and Pepper – To season and enhance the flavors of every bite.

How To Make Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken with Cheesy Spaghetti

Step 1: Season and Sear the Chicken

Start by seasoning chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dried oregano. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter until hot. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 2: Make the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, stirring gently to deglaze the pan. Gradually whisk in freshly grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes thick and velvety.

Step 3: Cook the Spaghetti

While the sauce simmers, cook the spaghetti in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and toss with a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Combine Sauce and Chicken

Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over each piece. Let it simmer for a few minutes so the flavors meld beautifully.

Step 5: Prepare the Cheesy Spaghetti

In a large bowl, toss the hot spaghetti with shredded mozzarella and a ladle of the creamy Parmesan sauce. The cheese will melt into the pasta, creating a gooey, delicious side.

Step 6: Plate and Garnish

Serve the chicken on top of the cheesy spaghetti, spooning extra sauce over the dish. Garnish with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of Parmesan for the perfect finish.

Serving and Storing This Recipe

This recipe is best enjoyed hot, right after the mozzarella melts into the spaghetti. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, add a splash of milk or cream when warming the pasta to keep it creamy.
