Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
While pasta is cooking, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the cooked pasta, corn, and cooked chicken back into the skillet with the sauce. Stir to combine and heat through.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
This recipe can be made vegetarian by omitting the chicken and adding more vegetables like broccoli or bell peppers.
