Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

8 oz (225g) pasta of your choice (fettuccine or penne work well)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

      Coat the Chicken: Toss the chicken pieces in olive oil, then coat them in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

        Bake: Arrange the chicken bites on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and cooked through.

          Cook the Pasta: While the chicken bakes, boil a pot of salted water and cook your pasta according to package instructions, then drain.

            Make the Sauce: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the heavy cream and mozzarella cheese. Stir until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

              Combine: Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce and top with the baked Parmesan chicken bites.

                Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
