Start by boiling salted water in a large pot. Add your pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. Once melted, add the sliced chicken. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.

Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not burnt.

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the chicken and garlic. Gradually stir in the reserved pasta water to create a light sauce.

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese melts and coats the pasta.

Garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy the savory aroma filling your kitchen as you share this meal with your family.
