Garlic ButterChicken Bites withCreamy ParmesanPasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain well and set aside.

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt, black pepper, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Add to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 6 to 8 minutes). Transfer chicken to a plate.

Reduce skillet heat to medium and melt 4 tbsp butter. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Return the chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the garlic butter. Set aside.

In a separate skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp butter. Sauté 2 cloves of minced garlic for 30 seconds. Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and ½ cup chicken broth, bringing the liquid to a gentle simmer.

Gradually whisk in 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese until completely melted and smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Add the drained fettuccine directly into the creamy Parmesan sauce and toss until every strand is coated.

Plate the creamy pasta, top with the garlic butter chicken bites, drizzle with any remaining pan garlic butter, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley.
