Creating Southern Style Creamy Parmesan Chicken Pasta is an exciting cooking adventure. Follow these simple steps for effortless success:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Create the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce is thickened.
6. Add Seasonings: Stir in the Italian seasoning, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.
7. Combine: Slice the cooked chicken into strips and return it to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Add the drained pasta and toss until everything is well combined and coated in sauce.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of flavor and color before serving.
