Creating Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Pasta is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Chicken: In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the pot, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not burnt.
4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and combined.
5. Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the drained pasta to the pot, tossing to coat in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add some reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
6. Season: Taste the dish and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes as desired.
7. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese.

These steps will help you create a rich and creamy pasta dish that your family will love!
