Instructions
- Cube the chicken into bite sized pieces and add to a large bowl. Add the oregano, basil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt & pepper. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.
- In a large skillet or frying pan melt the butter and olive oil on medium high heat.
- Add the seasoned chicken and sauté until cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta al dente according to package directions.
- When the chicken is cooked remove from the pan and set aside. Optional: wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
- Prepare the alfredo sauce in the same pan. On medium heat add the butter, milk and cream cheese. Stir or whisk until evenly melted.
- Once melted, add the minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Continue to stir/whisk until smooth.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese. Bring to a light simmer and continue to cook for about 5-8 minutes or until it starts to thicken.
- Return the chicken to the pan and add in the cooked pasta. Stir gently to combine.
- Pour into a 9” x 13” baking dish. Sprinkle with the shredded mozzarella cheese. Bake at 350°F until cheese melts, about 5-10 mins.
- Top with parmesan cheese, basil and parsley. Serve and enjoy!
