Equipment

  • Large Skillet

Ingredients
 

Chicken Bites

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Creamy Parmesan Pasta

  • 12 oz pasta fettuccine, penne or rotini
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces in a single layer.
  • Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook 6-8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • In the same pan, reduce heat to medium. Melt butter and add garlic, sauté 30 seconds scraping up browned bits.
  • Add chicken broth, stir to deglaze, then add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  • Gradually stir in parmesan cheese, whisking until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. Add pasta water if needed to thin sauce.
  • Return chicken to pan, mix to coat, reheat, and garnish with parsley and optional garlic butter drizzle.

Notes

Fresh garlic and real parmesan are key to flavor and texture. Substitute cream with half-and-half or coconut cream as needed. Stir in spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrients. Gluten-free or dairy-free options available with swaps.
