Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter Chicken
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp butter adds rich flavor
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
For the Creamy Parmesan Sauce
  • 8 oz twisted pasta any shape will do
  • 1 cup heavy cream creates a luscious, creamy sauce
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning enhances the overall flavor

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Large Pot

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Start by cooking the twisted pasta according to the package instructions until it’s al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, which should take about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Step 4: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix everything together until the cheese has melted and the sauce is nice and creamy.
  5. Step 5: Now, add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss to combine, ensuring that the pasta is well coated in that delicious creamy sauce.
  6. Step 6: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley for a lovely touch.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
