  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp paprika (optional for added flavor)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz fettuccine or your favorite pasta
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and paprika. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the chicken to the skillet, toss to coat in the garlic butter, and keep warm.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  4. In a saucepan, pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
  5. Plate the creamy Parmesan pasta and top with the garlic butter chicken bites. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for extra flavor and visual appeal. Serve hot and enjoy your savory garlic butter chicken bites with creamy Parmesan pasta.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain creaminess.
  • For extra flavor, add chopped fresh thyme or basil before serving.
  • Adjust the amount of garlic and Parmesan to suit your taste preferences for a more intense flavor profile.
