Ingredients
- 1 lb. pasta any noodle or shape!
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/2 tbsp flour
- 1 tbsp garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken stock or chicken broth

- 1 1/2 cups fresh grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped or shredded rotisserie chicken or my baked chicken work great!

Instructions
- Begin cooking pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, heat a large skillet over low heat.
- In the skillet, melt butter. Then add garlic and flour. Stir and cook for one minute.
- Turn the heat up to medium and add chicken stock and cream. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 4-5 minutes until sauce begins to thicken.
- Stir Parmesan cheese and chicken into the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until chicken is heated through.
