Ingredients
  

12 oz rigatoni pasta

2 tbsp olive oil

1 lb chicken breast, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Sauté until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Make Garlic Butter: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

        Prepare the Cream Sauce: Whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously. Allow the mixture to heat through for about 3-4 minutes.

          Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

            Combine: Add the cooked chicken and rigatoni back into the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated with the sauce. Allow it to heat for another minute to combine the flavors.

              Serve: Plate the Garlic Butter Chicken Rigatoni and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy your creamy and flavorful dish!
