1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 boneless, skinless thin-sliced chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup milk, or more, as needed
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions.
