Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 8 ounces pasta of your choice (like fettuccine or penne)
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
