For the Pasta

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Step 3: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Pour in the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and heavy cream. Stir to combine.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

  7. Step 7: Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil. Enjoy your delicious creation!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For a lighter option, try using half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
