👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5–7 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from pan and slice into strips.

Step 3: Make the Alfredo Sauce

In the same pan, melt butter. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and let simmer for 3–4 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Add Italian seasoning if desired.

Step 4: Combine Everything

Add cooked pasta into the Alfredo sauce and toss to coat evenly. Top with sliced chicken. Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan cheese before serving.
