  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 8 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– Fresh basil for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Savory Creamy Parmesan Pasta is a straightforward process. Follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside.
3. Make Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
4. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir well to combine.
5. Incorporate Cheese: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens, around 3-4 minutes. Adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Combine Everything: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Then add the cooked pasta, mixing everything until well combined.
7. Serve: Plate the dish and garnish with fresh basil, if desired.

These instructions guide you seamlessly through the process, ensuring a delicious result with minimal frustration.
