Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) rotini pasta

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips

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

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Brown the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the chicken strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Prepare 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.

        Make the Creamy Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and half of the Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and an even sauce forms. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed.

          Combine: Add the cooked rotini and chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce and heated through.

            Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with the remaining Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Serve immediately, enjoying the rich and creamy flavors!
