Description

A creamy and flavorful chicken dish infused with garlic and butter, served with rotini noodles.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 680 g boneless chicken breasts, chopped into small bites
  • 340 g rotini noodles
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 240 ml heavy cream
  • 120 ml low sodium chicken broth
  • 5 garlic cloves, smashed and minced
  • 60 g Parmesan, grated fine
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil rotini noodles in salt water according to package instructions. Drain well and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil on medium heat. Season chopped chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder before placing it in the pan.
  3. Cook the chicken for 6–8 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it on a plate.
  4. In the same pan, reduce heat if necessary, add butter and let it melt. Then stir in the minced garlic until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, mixing well and allowing it to bubble softly for a few minutes until it thickens.
  6. Toss the cooked chicken and rotini noodles back into the skillet, ensuring everything is coated in the creamy sauce.
  7. Stir in the grated Parmesan until melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
