Instructions

Cook the Pasta: Prepare the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Make the Sauce: Add chicken broth, heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and red pepper flakes. Stir and simmer the mixture for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
