Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 8 ounces pasta (linguine, fettuccine, or spaghetti)
• 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped for garnish
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (optional)

Directions:

1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper to your preference.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until they turn golden brown and are no longer pink in the center, typically about 5-7 minutes per side. Once cooked, set the chicken aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for approximately 1 minute until it becomes fragrant.
4. Next, pour in the heavy cream, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer.
5. Lower the heat to a simmer and gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts completely, resulting in a velvety smooth sauce.
6. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Once cooked, drain the pasta and return it to the pot.
7. Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it back to the skillet with the creamy sauce. If desired, incorporate the chopped sun-dried tomatoes at this stage. Toss everything together to ensure the flavors meld harmoniously.
8. Pour the luscious sauce over the cooked pasta, ensuring that every strand is coated evenly.
9. Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
