Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces of Penne pasta.
  • 2 cups of cooked chicken breast cubed.
  • 2 cups of heavy whipping cream.
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter.
  • 1.5 cups of fresh Parmesan cheese.
  • 2 cloves of garlic minced.
  • 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
  • 1/4 teaspoon of salt.
  • 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley chopped.
  • 1/2 cup of shredded provolone cheese.

Instructions
 

Boil the Penne Pasta

  • Fill a large pot with water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring the water to a boil. Add your penne pasta. Cook it until it is firm. This is called al dente. Drain the water. Set the pasta aside.

Prepare the Chicken

  • Cut your chicken into small cubes. Season them with salt and pepper. Cook them in a pan. Make sure they are golden brown. You can also use leftover chicken. Set the chicken aside for later.

Melt the Butter

  • Place your skillet over medium heat. Add the half cup of butter. Let it melt slowly. Do not let it turn brown. Smelling the butter is the best part.

Sauté the Garlic

  • Add the minced garlic to the butter. Stir it for one minute. It should smell very good. Do not burn the garlic. Burnt garlic tastes bitter.

Add the Heavy Cream

  • Pour the heavy cream into the pan. Stir it with the butter and garlic. Let it simmer gently. Do not let it boil hard. It will start to thicken.

Mix in the Cheese

  • Add the Parmesan and Provolone cheese. Stir constantly. The cheese must melt completely. The sauce will become very smooth. This is the secret to Domino's style.

Season the Sauce

  • Add the black pepper and salt. Taste the sauce carefully. Add more salt if you like. The Parmesan is already salty. Keep that in mind.

Combine Pasta and Chicken

  • Put the cooked pasta into the sauce. Add the cooked chicken cubes too. Toss everything together gently. Every piece should have sauce.

Garnish and Serve

  • Sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Serve it while it is hot. You can add extra cheese too. Enjoy your homemade meal!

Notes

  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese from a block.
  • Do not use the green canned cheese.
  • Fresh cheese melts much better.
  • It makes the sauce very silky.
  • Another tip is to save pasta water.
  • Add a splash if the sauce is thick.
  • This helps the sauce stick to pasta.
  • Do not overcook your chicken.
  • Dry chicken ruins the texture.
  • Keep the heat on medium or low.
  • High heat can make the sauce break.
  • Use a heavy pan for even cooking.
