Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Savory Creamy Parmesan Pasta:

8 ounces fettuccine or spaghetti pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Salt, to taste

Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta:

    - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine or spaghetti pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

      Prepare the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites:

        - In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter.

          - Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.

            - Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

              - Remove the chicken bites from the skillet and set aside.

                Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce:

                  - In the same skillet, add the olive oil and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the heavy cream, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

                    - Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water to adjust the consistency.

                      - Add salt to taste.

                        Combine:

                          - Add the drained pasta to the creamy sauce, tossing gently to coat.

                            - Return the garlic butter chicken bites to the skillet and mix everything together.

                              Serve:

                                - Plate the creamy chicken pasta and garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
