Instructions

Cook rotini in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add cubed chicken, season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until golden and done. Remove and set aside.
Melt remaining 1 tbsp butter in the same skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.
Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, whisking to combine.
Stir in Parmesan and mozzarella, allowing cheeses to melt and sauce to thicken slightly.
Return chicken and pasta to the pan, tossing to coat with the creamy sauce.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Substitute rotini with penne or fusilli if desired.
Add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra color and flavor.
For a thinner sauce, add an extra splash of broth or pasta water.
