Ingredients
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain pasta.
2. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then cook until golden and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
3. Add remaining olive oil to the skillet and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add parmesan and reserved pasta water, stirring to form a creamy sauce.
4. Return chicken to the skillet, add pasta, and toss to coat with the sauce. Adjust consistency with extra pasta water if needed.
5. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
