Salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

For the Creamy Parmesan Pasta:

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season the cubed chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes).
Lower the heat, add butter and garlic to the skillet, and cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the garlic powder, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat.
