Tender, golden chicken bites coated in a rich, garlicky butter sauce, served over creamy Parmesan pasta. A comforting, flavor-packed dish that’s easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • 8 ounces fettuccine or spaghetti
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Lower the heat to medium, add minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the chopped parsley and return the chicken to the pan, tossing to coat in the garlic butter sauce.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, boil the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  5. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and whisk until smooth. Slowly stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Toss the cooked pasta with the Parmesan sauce until evenly coated. Serve the chicken bites on top of the pasta, garnished with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.

Notes

[‘Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook the chicken in batches if needed.’, ‘Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor.’, ‘Sauté garlic gently over medium heat to avoid burning.’, ‘Save pasta water to adjust sauce consistency.’, ‘Experiment with herbs like basil or thyme for a different flavor.’]
