1. Prepare the Chicken Balls:
In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and beaten egg. Mix well.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs (about 1-inch in diameter).
In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add the chicken balls and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
2. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt 3 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in parsley and red pepper flakes (if using). Return the chicken balls to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Keep warm.
3. Cook the Pasta:
Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
4. Prepare the Creamy Parmesan Sauce:
In a separate saucepan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add heavy cream, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly (about 3-4 minutes).
Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly.
5. Serve:
Plate the creamy Parmesan pasta and top with garlic butter chicken balls. Garnish with extra parsley and grated Parmesan if desired.
