Instructions
1-Getting started with this Creamy Pepper Jack Chicken Sausage Pasta is all about simple, enjoyable steps that lead to a fantastic meal. Begin by organizing your ingredients to make the process smooth and fun, much like setting up for a family cooking night. This recipe combines savory elements into a creamy delight that’s sure to please.
2-Follow these steps closely for the best results. First, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the sliced chicken sausage, and cook until golden brown. Remove the sausage and set it aside to let those flavors develop. Next, in the same skillet, add the diced chicken breasts, onion, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, then cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is no longer pink.
3-While that’s happening, boil the pasta in salted water until just tender, then drain and set it aside. Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stir to combine, and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the shredded pepper jack cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy and smooth, then add the drained pasta, toss everything together until fully coated, and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving hot.
