Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Creamy Parmesan Pasta

Ingredients

For the Chicken Bites

• 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Creamy Parmesan Pasta

• 12 oz fettuccine (or pasta of your choice)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup chicken broth
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Extra garlic butter (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
• Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
• Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken Bites

• Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the chicken in a single layer and cook 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through.
• Add butter and minced garlic to the pan and sauté 1–2 minutes, tossing the chicken to coat in the garlic butter.
• Remove the chicken and set aside, leaving any leftover sauce in the pan.

3. Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce

• In the same pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
• Stir in chicken broth and heavy cream.
• Gradually add Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  

4. Combine Everything

• Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
• If the sauce is too thick, loosen it with a splash of reserved pasta water.
• Return the garlic butter chicken bites to the pan and toss to combine.

5. Serve
   

• Drizzle with extra garlic butter if desired and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
• Serve hot with garlic bread or a fresh salad.
