Variations
For a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk, though the sauce may be slightly less thick.

Adding a splash of lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors and balance the richness of the dish.

If you prefer a bit of heat, a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper will give the sauce a subtle kick.

Vegetarians can enjoy this dish by replacing the chicken with mushrooms or tofu.

Sautéed mushrooms, especially cremini or shiitake, absorb the garlic butter beautifully and provide a meaty texture.

For extra protein, chickpeas or white beans can also be stirred into the pasta for a hearty twist.

To switch up the pasta, try using gluten-free noodles or zucchini noodles for a low-carb alternative.

Adding vegetables like spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, or roasted bell peppers can enhance the nutritional value and add vibrant colors to the dish.

The versatility of this recipe makes it easy to adapt to different dietary preferences.
