🍗 Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken with Rotini in Parmesan Sauce
“Made this once — now it’s the most requested in my house!”
Rich, creamy, and absolutely bursting with flavor, this Creamy Garlic Butter Chicken with Rotini has become a family favorite everywhere it’s made. Tender chicken pieces bathed in a luscious parmesan-garlic sauce, tossed with pasta — it’s pure comfort food magic!
🕰️ History of the Dish
Garlic butter sauces have been beloved across Europe for centuries, originating in French kitchens as beurre à l’ail. Later, Italian cooks elevated it with cream and cheese, blending it into pasta dishes. This modern twist — pairing the classic sauce with chicken and rotini — brings the best of both worlds: French richness and Italian heartiness.
🍽️ Ingredients
For the Chicken:
- 500 g (1 lb) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Sauce:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Pasta:
- 250 g (about 8 oz) rotini (or any short pasta)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt for boiling water
👩🍳 Instructions & Methods
- Cook the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook until al dente according to package directions. Drain, drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking, and set aside. - Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and sauté until golden brown and fully cooked (about 6–8 minutes). Remove and set aside. - Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In the same pan, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn it!).
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring gently. Bring to a simmer.
Add Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Stir until the sauce thickens slightly. - Combine Everything:
Add the cooked chicken back into the sauce. Stir to coat well.
Add the drained pasta and toss everything together until fully combined and creamy. - Final Touch:
Sprinkle chopped parsley on top. Serve warm, maybe with a bit more Parmesan for the cheese lovers!
