Instructions
Creating Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Creamy Parmesan Pasta is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the 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: Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
3. Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
6. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and the sauce is smooth.
7. Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, mixing well to coat the chicken in the creamy sauce.
8. Toss with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
10. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch before serving.
