Garlic Butter Chicken Balls with Creamy Parmesan Pasta: A Rich and Savory Delight

In a large bowl, combine the ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined, then form the mixture into small meatballs.

Cook the Chicken Balls:
Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken balls and cook for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Creamy Parmesan Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and Parmesan cheese. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Combine the Pasta and Sauce:
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the creamy sauce. Return the chicken balls to the skillet and spoon sauce over them.

Serve:
Serve the dish warm, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese or chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
