Ingredients

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts diced into 1 inch pieces
1/2 onion chopped
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp Cayenne pepper
6 Tbsp butter
2 cups Heavy whipping cream
2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
16 oz Ziti Pasta

Instructions

In a large skillet heat about a tablespoon of the butter.
Add chicken and the onions and allow it to brown, stirring occasionally. Let it get nice and brown and cook until the onions are soft.
While chicken is browning season it with salt and pepper. Add the Italian seasoning and the cayenne pepper.
Then mix in the remaining butter and heavy whipping cream.
Bring the mixture to a boil.
Cover, reduce the heat to low and simmer for approximately 10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, cook the ziti to al dente based on the package instructions.
Remove the chicken mixture from the heat. Then stir in the grated parmesan cheese gradually until the cheese is melted and all mixed in.
Then stir in the cooked ziti. Serve warm and top with additional parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
