Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites:

2 cups boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Savory Creamy Parmesan Pasta:

8 oz fettuccine or your favorite pasta

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.

    Prepare the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

      Add the chicken pieces to the skillet. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Sauté the chicken until cooked through and golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

        Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce: In a separate saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water until you reach desired consistency.

          Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the creamy sauce, tossing gently to coat the pasta evenly.

            Serve: Plate the creamy pasta and top with the garlic butter chicken bites. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and basil leaves if desired.
