  "account": "When hunger strikes and time is limited, a quick and easy creamy garlic chicken pasta can be an ideal solution for South Africans on the go. This rich and comforting dish is packed with flavor and only takes five minutes to prepare if using pre-cooked ingredients. A cup of cooked, shredded or chopped chicken is the star of the show. Begin by heating butter or olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the fat is hot, add minced garlic and sauté for around 30 seconds until fragrant. Incorporate the pre-cooked chicken into the pan and stir to ensure it is heated through, which should take about a minute. Next, pour in cooking cream and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top. Stir the mixture continuously until the cheese melts completely, creating a smooth and creamy sauce. Toss in the pre-cooked pasta and combine everything until well coated in the luscious sauce. Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and any preferred mixed herbs for added depth of flavor. For an extra touch of freshness, top the pasta with chopped or chopped parsley before serving immediately.",
