Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) rotini pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

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, reserving a cup of pasta water.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Garlic Butter Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

        Add Cream & Cheese: Pour in the heavy cream, allowing it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until fully melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency.

          Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well with the sauce. Fold in the cooked rotini, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.

            Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh finish. Enjoy your delicious Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken & Rotini!
