Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Cook the pasta in salted water. Cut the chicken into large pieces and sauté in a little oil. Season with salt and pepper, add the crushed garlic, and brown on all sides.
Place the cooked pasta in a greased baking dish. Stir the basil and a quarter of the grated cheese into the sour cream, then mix with the pasta.
Arrange the chicken over the pasta, leaving plenty of space between the pieces, and sprinkle with the remaining grated cheese. Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes, until the cheese melts, and serve.

Tip: Cook the pasta a minute or two less than the package directs—it will absorb the sour cream and finish cooking in the oven without becoming mushy.
