Season the chicken breast with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper - tossing to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
Sprinkle the chicken with grated Parmesan cheese and set aside.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Melt the butter over medium heat in the same skillet used for the chicken.
Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat the pasta evenly.
Add the cooked chicken on top of the pasta.
Garnish with chopped parsley and additional grated parmesan, if desired.
