#### Instructions:
1. **Cook the Chicken**: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest. Once cooled, slice the chicken into strips.
2. **Cook the Pasta**: In a separate pot, bring water to a boil, add a pinch of salt, and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of pasta water.
3. **Prepare the Alfredo Sauce**: In the same pan you used for the chicken, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. Add the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir and bring the mixture to a simmer, cooking for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.
4. **Finish the Sauce**: Once the sauce has thickened, add the grated Parmesan cheese, and stir until smooth and creamy. If the sauce gets too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
5. **Combine**: Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, and toss until the pasta is well-coated. Add the sliced chicken on top and give it one more gentle toss to mix everything together.
6. **Serve**: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and extra grated Parmesan cheese for that extra layer of flavor. Serve immediately, and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
