Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
600 grams chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, or thighs, cut into bite size pieces
4 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
1 3/4 cups chicken stock, fresh or from powder
1 cup heavy cream, OR make from a shortcut
500 grams dry Penne pasta, OR any bite sized pasta
2 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
salt and pepper, to taste
fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper and in a skillet, brown the chicken in a little olive oil. There is no need for the chicken to be cooked through as it will be cooked with the sauce later.
Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then add the chicken stock, cream, and pasta, mix this and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the pasta is cooked. Stir occasionally, if the liquid is reducing, add a bit more stock and cream.
When the pasta is cooked, remove from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper as desired, garnish with parsley if desired, serve.

Notes

Chicken will run 60 to 75 Baht/kilo, you will need just 600 grams of chicken for this. Parmesan cheese on the other hand is about 280 Baht/200 grams. For 4 servings, this comes out to about $2.35 per serving. High cost for a good meal, much higher than our standard of $1 per serving. Maybe not a recipe to put on the weekly planner but sounds great on the monthly planner.

Shortcut: Heavy Cream.
