Creating your Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is straightforward. Just follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
3. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
5. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and add it back to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce.
7. Serve Hot: Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
