Ingredients
  

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

8 oz (225g) rotini pasta

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions
 

Cook the Rotini: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

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

        Prepare the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

          Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the drained rotini. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy garlic butter sauce and heated through.

            Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley and a sprinkling of red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
