Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions for 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. Cook the Chicken: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sauté for 6-8 minutes until golden brown. Set aside.
  3. Make Garlic Butter Sauce: Lower the heat, melt unsalted butter in the same skillet, add garlic and sauté until fragrant. Toss in the cooked chicken until well-coated.
  4. Prepare Creamy Parmesan Sauce: In a separate skillet, melt butter, add garlic and sauté. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, simmer, then whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season to taste.
  5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the creamy sauce, tossing to coat. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Assemble and Serve: Plate the pasta, top with garlic butter chicken bites, garnish with parsley and drizzle extra garlic butter if desired.
