- Heat the olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with the salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then cook for 3 to 4 minutes until lightly browned.
- Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the pasta, chicken broth, and half-and-half, scraping up any browned bits.
- Bring the skillet to a simmer, cover, and cook for 9 to 10 minutes, stirring twice, until the pasta is tender and the chicken is cooked through.
