Ingredients
  

For the Garlic Butter Chicken Bites:

1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

For the Savory Creamy Parmesan Pasta:

8 oz (225g) pasta (fettuccine or your choice)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon black pepper

Salt to taste

Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta:

    - Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.

      Prepare the Chicken Bites:

        - In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

          - Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, paprika, and oregano. Add the chicken to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, stirring occasionally.

            Make the Creamy Sauce:

              - In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.

                - Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth, then add garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to taste. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water, a little at a time, to reach your desired consistency.

                  Combine and Serve:

                    - Toss the cooked pasta into the creamy Parmesan sauce, mixing until the pasta is evenly coated.

                      - Serve the pasta on a plate or in a bowl, topping it with the garlic butter chicken bites.

                        - Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and added flavor.

                          Enjoy Your Meal:

                            - Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Savory Creamy Parmesan Pasta!
