For the Chicken Bites:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Creamy Parmesan Pasta:
12 oz fettuccine or pasta of your

2 tablespoons butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup chicken broth

Preparation

Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of
salted water and cook the pasta
according to package instructions
until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken Bites: In a large
skillet, heat olive oil over medium-
high heat. Add the chicken bites,
seasoning with salt, pepper, and
Italian seasoning. Cook until golden
brown and cooked through, about 6- 8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the
same skillet, reduce the heat to
medium and add the butter. Once
melted, add the minced garlic and
sauté for about 30 seconds until
fragrant. Return the cooked chicken
to the skillet and toss to coat in the
garlic butter sauce.
Prepare the Creamy Parmesan
Sauce: In a separate skillet, melt 2
tablespoons of butter over medium
heat. Add the minced garlic and
sauté for another 30 seconds. Stir in
the heavy cream and chicken broth,
bringing the mixture to a gentle
simmer. Gradually whisk in the
grated Parmesan cheese until
smooth, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine Pasta and Sauce: Toss the
cooked pasta in the creamy
Parmesan sauce, ensuring it’s well
coated.
Serve: Plate the creamy Parmesan
pasta and top with the garlic butter
chicken bites. Drizzle with extra
garlic butter if desired and garnish
with fresh parsley
