Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, cubed

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 ½ cups heavy cream

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

8 oz spaghetti, cooked al dente

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Season cubed chicken breast with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add chicken and sear until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

4. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

5. Stir in Parmesan cheese gradually until melted and the sauce thickens slightly.

6. Add the cooked spaghetti to the sauce, tossing well to coat.

7. Return chicken to the skillet and stir to combine.

8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for the creamiest, smoothest sauce.

Add vegetables like spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.

Reheat leftovers gently with a splash of cream or milk to restore creaminess.
