Crispy Chicken Bites with Creamy Garlic Parmesan Pasta: A Perfect Pairing of Crispy and Creamy Flavors

In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper.
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each piece of chicken into the beaten eggs, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces in batches and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken bites from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the Pasta:

While the chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
Make the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

In the same skillet you used for the chicken, melt butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and golden.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine the Pasta and Sauce:

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce, tossing to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve:

Plate the creamy garlic parmesan pasta and top with the crispy chicken bites. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
