Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 cups rotini pasta

1/4 cup unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

      Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once heated, add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let the chicken rest before slicing it into strips.

        Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to low and add the remaining butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant (but not browned).

          Prepare the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.

            Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked rotini and sliced chicken to the sauce in the skillet. Toss gently to ensure everything is well coated in the creamy sauce.

              Serve: Plate the dish, and garnish with fresh parsley for an extra touch of color and flavor. Enjoy your Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken & Rotini!
