### Instructions
1. **Sear the Chicken**: Heat oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
2. **Sauté Garlic**: In the same pot, add a bit more oil if needed. Sauté garlic for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. **Cook the Pasta**: Pour in the chicken broth and add uncooked pasta. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the liquid is mostly absorbed (10–12 minutes).
4. **Make it Creamy**: Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Add cooked chicken back into the pot.
5. **Optional Add-ins**: Stir in spinach, mushrooms, or sun-dried tomatoes and cook for a few more minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
6. **Serve**: Garnish with fresh parsley or basil and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan. Serve hot and enjoy!
