For the Chicken Bites:
- 1 lb of boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into smaller pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.

- Prepare the Creamy Parmesan Sauce: In a separate skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic, then add cream and chicken broth. Simmer and whisk in Parmesan cheese until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
