Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter Chicken
  • 1 lb chicken breast, diced tender and juicy, adds protein to your meal
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for sautéing the chicken
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning for elevating flavor
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter for rich, buttery goodness
For the Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
  • 8 oz spaghetti the perfect base for this creamy dish
  • 1 cup roasted red peppers, pureed adds both color and sweetness
  • 1 cup heavy cream to make the sauce luxuriously creamy
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese for that cheesy finish
  • Salt and pepper
  • Fresh parsley, chopped

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by cooking the spaghetti according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until browned and thoroughly cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Reduce the heat and add the butter to the skillet, stirring until melted and combined with the chicken.
  5. Step 5: Pour in the pureed roasted red peppers and heavy cream, mixing everything together. Let the sauce simmer for 3-5 minutes.
  6. Step 6: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce reaches a creamy consistency.
  7. Step 7: Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta evenly with that luscious sauce.
  8. Step 8: Serve hot, garnished with a sprinkle of chopped fresh parsley for a touch of brightness.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of cream or water if the sauce thickens too much.
