Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites:

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Creamy Parmesan Pasta:

8 oz (225g) pasta (e.g., fettuccine or penne)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta:

    - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a little pasta water.

      Prepare the Chicken Bites:

        - In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

          - Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

            - Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped parsley.

              Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce:

                - In the same skillet (make sure to scrape up any delicious chicken bits), lower the heat to medium-low. Add the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.

                  - Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

                    Combine Pasta and Sauce:

                      - Add the cooked pasta to the creamy sauce. Toss well until the pasta is fully coated in the creamy Parmesan sauce.

                        Serve:

                          - Place a serving of creamy pasta on each plate and top with garlic butter chicken bites. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs.
