Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

• 1 small onion, diced

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 8 oz fusilli pasta

• 3 cups chicken broth

• 1 cup heavy cream

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

2. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces and cook until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

3. Sauté Veggies: Add the diced onion and garlic to the same pot, sautéing until softened, about 3 minutes.

4. Add Broth and Pasta: Pour in the chicken broth and add the fusilli pasta.

5. Season: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

6. Combine with Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back to the pot.

7. Cook: Bring the mixture to a low boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes or until the pasta is al dente.

8. Add Cream: Stir in the heavy cream and cook for another 2 minutes.

9. Cheese it Up: Turn off the heat, mix in the shredded Parmesan until melted.

Notes to Make it Better:

• For extra richness, you can add a tablespoon of unsalted butter along with the heavy cream.

• Feel free to use chicken thighs for more flavor, if you prefer.

• Garnish with some chopped parsley or basil for a fresh touch before serving.
