Ingredients
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, then drain.
2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and sear 4–5 minutes per side until cooked through. Remove and slice.
3. Reduce heat to medium, melt butter in the same skillet, then sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
4. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, bring to a simmer, then stir in Italian seasoning.
5. Gradually whisk in Parmesan until melted and sauce thickens. Add reserved pasta water if needed to reach desired consistency.
6. Return chicken and pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat evenly and heat through. Adjust seasoning as needed.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan.
