Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Begin by cooking the pasta according to package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
- Season the Chicken: Season the thinly sliced chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

- Add Broth and Cream: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Mix in Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and optional crushed red pepper flakes. Allow the sauce to thicken for a few minutes over low heat.
- Combine Chicken and Pasta: Add the cooked chicken and pasta back into the skillet. Toss everything together to coat in the creamy sauce.
- Serve: Cook for an additional minute to heat through. Then, plate your delightful dish and enjoy!
Notes
Thinly slicing the chicken ensures even cooking. Cook pasta al dente and use quality ingredients for better flavor.
