Ingredients
  

1 pound rotini pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper, to taste

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest.

      Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the butter and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

        Create the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then add the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

          Combine Ingredients: Slice the cooked chicken into thin strips and return it to the skillet with the sauce. Add the cooked rotini pasta and toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated in the creamy Parmesan sauce.

            Serve: Plate the creamy garlic butter chicken and rotini, garnishing with chopped parsley for a fresh touch. Enjoy!
