Method
 

Instructions
  1. Season the chicken cubes with onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken in a single layer and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook pasta shells according to package directions in water seasoned with chicken bouillon powder until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup of pasta water.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet along with reserved pasta water. Toss to coat evenly in the garlic butter sauce.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
