  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 0 hours

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 4 tablespoons butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 8 ounces pasta (fettuccine, penne, or your choice)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Creamy Pasta is easy if you follow these steps:

1. Cook Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

3. Sauté Chicken: Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. Make Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

5. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir well. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly.

6. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese while stirring continuously until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy.

7. Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well to coat it in the sauce.

8. Mix with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy garlic butter sauce.

9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or Italian seasoning if needed.

10. Serve Hot: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and serve immediately.
