Petunjuk

Prepare the Pasta

Cook the penne pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Cook Chicken and Sausage

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken and sausage, and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Prepare the Sauce Base

In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add butter and minced garlic, and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.

Make the Cream Sauce

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually add the pepper jack and parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Add crushed red pepper flakes if desired.

Combine Ingredients

Return the cooked chicken, sausage, and pasta to the skillet. Toss together until fully coated in the creamy sauce.

Simmer and Garnish

Allow the dish to simmer for 2–3 more minutes to meld the flavors. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
