Step 1: Boil spaghetti or fettuccine in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Sprinkle chicken breasts with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet and cook the chicken over medium-high heat until golden brown on both sides. Remove and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring until combined.
Step 4: Gradually whisk in Parmesan cheese. Sprinkle in Italian seasoning and stir until the sauce thickens.
Step 5: Return the chicken to the skillet. Add cooked pasta and toss until evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
Step 6: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
