Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups penne pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce is creamy and thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  6. Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta in the sauce.
  7. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
