Ingredients
  

8 ounces fettuccine or your choice of pasta

1 pound chicken breast, diced

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken Bites: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then sauté until cooked through and golden brown (about 7-10 minutes). Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

        Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, then add in the grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add some reserved pasta water until you reach the desired consistency.

          Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked pasta and garlic butter chicken bites into the creamy sauce. Toss everything together until evenly coated. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle in red pepper flakes.

            Serve: Plate your creamy Parmesan pasta generously, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy your silky delight!
