2. Cook the Pasta:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
• Drain and set aside.

3. Sauté the Chicken:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
• Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. Make the Creamy Sauce:

• In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
• Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
