Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Reserve 120 mL (1/2 cup) pasta water, then drain.
  2. Season the chicken with the salt, Italian seasoning, and black pepper.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, until browned and cooked to 74 C / 165 F. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium. Melt the butter in the skillet, add the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and cream. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the Parmesan until the sauce is smooth.
  7. Add the pasta and chicken back to the skillet and toss to coat.
  8. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce, then serve.
