Instructions
1. Cook the Pasta
Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Reserve about ½ cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken Bites
Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked.
Add butter and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for another 1–2 minutes, tossing the chicken to coat it in the garlic butter.
Remove chicken from the pan and set aside, leaving any leftover sauce in the pan.
