- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Cooking Steps
- In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil and let it warm up.
- Add the chicken cubes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, adding the uncooked pasta and Italian seasoning. Stir everything well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally.
- Once the pasta is cooked, lower the heat, and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese melts and creates a creamy sauce.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
