Ingredients

For Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bites:

  • 2 large chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (for coating)
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

For Creamy Rotini:

  • 8 oz rotini pasta
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (for sauce)
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
  2. Coat the Chicken: In a bowl, combine parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. Coat the chicken bites in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
  3. Fry the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet and fry chicken in batches until golden and cooked through (about 3–4 minutes per side). Set aside.
  4. Cook the Rotini: Cook rotini pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  5. Make the Sauce: In the skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in parmesan cheese and whisk until melted and smooth. Season to taste.
  6. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked rotini to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Plate the pasta and top with crispy chicken bites. Garnish with parsley if desired.
