Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites:

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Savory Creamy Parmesan Pasta:

8 oz fettuccine or your pasta of choice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta:

    - Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.

      Prepare the Garlic Butter Chicken:

        - 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, seasoning with Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

            Combine Creamy Parmesan Sauce:

              - In another saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, then stir in the garlic powder.

                - Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add some reserved pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                  Combine:

                    - Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the chicken and pour the creamy Parmesan sauce over the top. Gently toss everything together until well-coated.

                      Serve:

                        - Plate the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with the Savory Creamy Parmesan Pasta. Garnish with chopped parsley and fresh basil if desired.
