Step 5: Assemble the Dish
Add the cooked pasta into the creamy Parmesan sauce and toss until evenly coated.
If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Return the cooked chicken balls to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them to coat.
Let everything simmer together for 2 more minutes to blend the flavors.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
Sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top for added richness.
Serve warm and enjoy this irresistible garlic butter chicken pasta with your favorite side dish.
Serving Suggestions
This dish is rich and satisfying on its own, but you can pair it with:
Garlic Bread: Perfect for soaking up the creamy sauce.
Side Salad: A fresh green salad with a lemon vinaigrette balances the richness.
Steamed Vegetables: Broccoli, asparagus, or roasted cherry tomatoes add a nutritious touch.
Tips for the Best Garlic Butter Chicken Pasta
For extra crispy chicken balls, lightly coat them in flour or cornstarch before frying.
Want a spicier kick? Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a mild heat.
Prefer a lighter version? Substitute half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lower-calorie sauce.
Make it ahead: You can prepare the chicken balls a day in advance and store them in the fridge until ready to cook.
