Instructions

1. Cook the pasta
   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the chicken bites
   Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 4–6 minutes, turning until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.

   In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook briefly.
   Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
