Step:

  1. First thing you want to do is start your pasta water to boiling. Add a good amount of salt to your pasta water as it boils.

  2. Next season your chicken breast with the dry seasonings coat well on both sides

  3. Next you want to saut the chicken breast in the olive oil and garlic until completely cooked through. Remove chicken from oil and place on a paper towel to drain. Use your remaining oil to saut your vegetables.

  4. Next you want to add your heavy cream to your vegetables / olive oil and reduce your heat to a slow simmer. At this point if your sauce becomes too thick add the pasta water to thin it out.
