Ingredients
– 8 ounces fettuccine or pasta of choice
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

Instructions
Creating Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
5. Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat everything in the creamy sauce.
6. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or Parmesan as desired.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley.
