  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper; cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
