DIRECTIONS:

Step 01

Cube the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to a large bowl. Add the oregano, basil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the chicken is evenly coated.

Step 02

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. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 03

While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta al dente according to package directions. Drain once cooked.

Step 04

In the same pan, melt the butter, milk, and cream cheese over medium heat. Stir or whisk until evenly melted. Add the minced garlic, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and bring to a light simmer. Cook for about 5-8 minutes or until it starts to thicken.

Step 05

Return the cooked chicken to the pan and add the cooked pasta. Stir gently to combine.

Step 06

Pour the mixture into a 9” x 13” baking dish. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese and bake at 350°F until cheese melts, about 5-10 minutes.

Step 07

Top with Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and parsley as desired. Serve and enjoy!
