Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Combine Pasta and Sauce: Toss the cooked pasta in the creamy Parmesan sauce, ensuring it’s well coated.

Step 6

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.
