Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

8 oz rotini pasta

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the rotini according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

      Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken breasts and sear for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside to rest.

        Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

          Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer.

            Incorporate Cheese: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning to the skillet, mixing until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

              Combine Pasta: Add the cooked rotini to the sauce, tossing to coat the pasta evenly.

                Slice Chicken: Slice the seared chicken and add it on top of the pasta. Let it heat through for 2-3 minutes.

                  Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy your creamy, delicious meal!
