Ingredients
  

8 oz (225g) penne pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 lb (450g) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup (100g) grated parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup (150g) cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions
 

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

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and simmer for 2-3 minutes.

        Add Cheese: Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the mozzarella and parmesan cheeses until melted and smooth.

          Combine: Add the cooked pasta, sautéed chicken, and cherry tomatoes to the cheese sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated in the creamy cheese sauce.

            Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh basil and additional cheese if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
