Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Creamy Parmesan Pasta

A hearty and indulgent dish featuring tender chicken bites in a rich, creamy Parmesan sauce served over al dente pasta.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 oz pasta (e.g., fettuccine or penne)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant.
  3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, followed by the grated Parmesan. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
  5. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing until every piece is coated in the sauce.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.

Notes

For a healthier version, consider using whole-grain pasta, low-fat cream, or substituting chicken with turkey or tofu.
