Salt to taste

For the Chicken:

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt and black pepper (to taste)

1 tsp garlic powder or freshly minced garlic

½ tsp chili flakes (optional)

For the Creamy Sauce:

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion (finely chopped)

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 ½ cups milk

½ cup fresh cream

2 tbsp all-purpose flour (maida)

½ cup grated cheese (cheddar or parmesan)

½ tsp oregano

½ tsp chili flakes

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley or coriander for garnish

Step-by-Step Method: How to Make Chicken Pasta

Step 1: Boil the Pasta

Place a pot on your Wipro Induction Cooktop and add enough water to cover the pasta.

Add salt and a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking.

Once the water starts boiling, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions (usually 8–10 minutes).

Drain and set aside, reserving a small cup of pasta water for later use.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on the induction cooktop in a pan.

Add chicken strips and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Cook on medium heat until the chicken turns golden brown and is cooked through (about 5–7 minutes).

Remove from the pan and keep aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Creamy White Sauce

In the same pan, add butter and olive oil.

Sauté chopped onions until translucent, then add minced garlic.

Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously to form a roux.

Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps.

Once thickened, add fresh cream and cheese.

Season with oregano, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.

Stir until the sauce turns smooth, creamy, and glossy.

Step 4: Combine Pasta and Chicken

Add the cooked chicken back to the pan and toss it in the sauce.

Mix in the boiled pasta and a few tablespoons of reserved pasta water for consistency.

Stir everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce.

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or coriander to add a burst of colour and a refreshing aroma that balances the creamy richness of the sauce.

Add a sprinkle of cheese and chili flakes on top for extra flavour and a touch of heat that makes every bite more indulgent and satisfying.

Serve hot and enjoy your delicious creamy chicken pasta straight from the pan, letting the flavours, texture, and warmth come together for the perfect comforting meal.

Tips for Perfect Chicken Pasta Recipes

Use freshly grated cheese for a smoother sauce texture. It melts more evenly than pre-shredded cheese, giving your pasta a rich, velvety consistency and a fresher flavour.

Don’t overcook the pasta, aim for al dente (slightly firm). This helps the pasta hold its shape and absorb the creamy sauce better without turning mushy.

For a spicy twist, add a dash of paprika or peri-peri powder. It enhances the flavour with a mild heat and gives your creamy chicken pasta recipe a restaurant-style kick.

You can replace chicken with shrimp, mushrooms, or paneer for variety. This makes the recipe versatile and suitable for both meat lovers and vegetarians alike.

Always serve the pasta fresh to enjoy its creamy texture and rich flavour, as reheating can cause the sauce to thicken and lose its silky smoothness.
