Instructions

1. Sauté the onion

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened and slightly translucent. Remove and set aside.

2. Cook the chicken

Season the chicken as desired, then coat with cornstarch. Add to the same skillet and cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. Cook the pasta

Pour chicken broth into the skillet and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook on high heat, stirring occasionally, until tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.

4. Make the sauce

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Add 1 cup of cheddar cheese and mix until melted, then add the remaining cheese and stir until smooth.

5. Combine everything

Return the chicken and onions to the skillet. Toss everything together until evenly coated in the creamy sauce.

6. Serve

Serve hot and enjoy.
