- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Alfredo Sauce:
- 8 oz mushrooms (sliced)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)

Instructions
- Cook the Pasta: Prepare the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until golden and cooked through (about 5–6 minutes). Remove chicken and set aside.
- Prepare the Sauce: In the same skillet, cook mushrooms until browned and tender. Add garlic and cook briefly. Stir in butter, then add heavy cream. Simmer gently for 3–4 minutes. Mix in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning until slightly thickened.
