Ingredients

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

8 oz (225g) fettuccine or your choice of pasta

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken Bites: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

        Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

          Combine Everything: Add the cooked chicken bites back into the skillet and stir to coat them in the creamy sauce. Toss in the cooked pasta and mix until evenly distributed. Adjust seasoning if needed.

            Serve: Plate the creamy Parmesan pasta with garlic butter chicken bites and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy your delicious meal!
