Ingredients

1 lb penne pasta
1 lb chicken breast, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup vodka
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

Begin by cooking the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the vodka and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to evaporate completely.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes and red pepper flakes, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream to the sauce, mixing well until combined. Allow it to simmer gently for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cooked penne to the sauce and toss until the pasta is fully coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Enjoy your Creamy Chicken Penne alla Vodka!
