🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  
1. 1 cup heavy cream  
2. 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning  
3. 4 slices turkey bacon, chopped  
4. 500g chicken breasts, diced  
5. 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated  
6. Salt and pepper to taste

9. 500g penne pasta

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  
1. Start by boiling your penne pasta as per the package instructions, then drain and set aside.  
2. In a large skillet, fry the turkey bacon until crispy, then remove and set aside on a paper towel.  
3. In the same skillet, add the diced chicken. Season with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden and thoroughly cooked.  
4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream into the skillet with the chicken, scraping up any delicious bits stuck to the bottom.
