Ingredients
  

1 lb rotini pasta

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced

2 tbsp olive oil

4 tbsp unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Chili flakes (optional, for some heat)

Instructions
 

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

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the sliced chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Add them to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low, and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant (be careful not to burn the garlic).

        Add Cream and Cheese: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it's melted and the sauce is creamy. Stir in the Italian seasoning and additional salt and pepper to taste.

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

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley and chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy garlic butter chicken and rotini!
