✓ Step #5: Make garlic butter – Add the remaining 1.5 tbsp of butter to the pan. Once melted, add 1 tbsp garlic powder and cook for 20–30 seconds, stirring frequently so it doesn’t burn. Add chicken back into the skillet and coat the chicken in garlic butter.

✓ Step #6: Make spaghetti and serve – If you want to make spaghetti, you will want to add a bed of pasta to a plate, top with chicken, top with your favorite sauce, and then finally, add a touch of Italian seasoning. Serve.
