While pasta cooks, cut chicken breast into 2.5 cm (1 inch) cubes. Season with salt and pepper. Mince garlic.

Heat olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.
6
Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat evenly in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
