In a bowl, season the chicken cubes with paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, melt butter and add minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Return the chicken to the pan, toss in the garlic butter, and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.

How to Make the Creamy Parmesan Pasta

In another skillet (or the same pan after removing chicken), melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.

Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.

Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring gently.

Simmer for 2–3 minutes, then add grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until melted and smooth.

Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until fully coated. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if desired.

Top with garlic butter chicken bites and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Variations

Use shrimp or salmon instead of chicken for a seafood twist.

Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and color.

Replace heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter version.

Use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta if preferred.

Tips

Cut chicken into even-sized cubes for even cooking.

Let the garlic cook gently to avoid burning.

For extra flavor, sprinkle a little lemon zest or squeeze of lemon juice before serving.

If sauce thickens too much, add a splash of pasta water to loosen it.

Conclusion

Garlic Butter Chicken Bites with Creamy Parmesan Pasta is a restaurant-quality meal you can easily make at home. The buttery garlic flavor, creamy sauce, and juicy chicken create an irresistible combination that will quickly become a family favorite.
