Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Creamy Pasta: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 8 ounces pasta (your choice: fettuccine, penne, etc.)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
– Optional: vegetables such as spinach or cherry tomatoes

Instructions

Creating Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Creamy Pasta is straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the chicken pieces in a single layer. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Prepare the Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Ensure it doesn’t burn.

4. Make the Creamy Sauce: Lower the heat and add the heavy cream to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the garlic. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

5. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. If desired, add vegetables like spinach or cherry tomatoes at this stage.

6. Combine: Add the cooked pasta and chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce.

7. Taste and Adjust: Check for seasoning and adjust salt and pepper if necessary.

8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

These steps will ensure your Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Creamy Pasta turn out perfectly every time!
