- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- 1. Sauté the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pot.
- 2. Create Flavor Town: In the same pot, add minced garlic and sauté for about one minute. Stir in dried Italian herbs.

- 5. Combine Everything: Return chicken to the pot for a few minutes to reheat.
- 6. Serve It Up: Plate the pasta and drizzle with extra sauce; garnish with more Parmesan or herbs.
