Ingredients
  

1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

8 oz fettuccine pasta

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.

      Make Garlic Butter: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

        Cook Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet, cooking for about 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, stirring occasionally.

          Creamy Sauce: Lower the heat, and pour in the heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the remaining butter and grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy.

            Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the creamy garlic butter sauce. Stir in the Italian seasoning for added flavor.

              Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy your Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Creamy Parmesan Pasta!
