Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

12 ounces pasta (fettuccine or penne)

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it thinly.

      Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the tomatoes start to burst and the garlic is fragrant.

        Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium, then pour in the heavy cream. Stir well, and allow it to simmer for about 2-3 minutes. Add the dried Italian herbs and stir to combine.

          Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

            Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta and chicken are well coated with the sauce.

              Serve: Plate the creamy Italian chicken pasta and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Enjoy your delicious meal!
