Ingredients

Scale

For the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites:

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

For the Creamy Parmesan Pasta:

  • 8 oz fettuccine or your favorite pasta
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Prepare the Chicken Bites:

  1. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breast pieces with salt, pepper, and dried Italian seasoning.
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook the Garlic: In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Prepare the Creamy Parmesan Pasta:

  1. Cook the Pasta: While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about ½ cup of pasta water.
  2. Make the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet with the garlic butter, add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
  3. Combine the Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked pasta to the creamy Parmesan sauce, tossing to coat. Add the cooked chicken bites to the pasta, stirring gently to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Serve:

  1. Garnish and Serve: Serve the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Creamy Parmesan Pasta immediately, garnished with fresh parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
