  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions: This will ensure that the pasta is cooked properly and has the right texture.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if it's overcooked. Cook it until it's just cooked through, but still tender and juicy.

  • Add a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings this dish together. Use a simple sauce made with olive oil, garlic, and herbs, or try a more complex sauce made with tomatoes, cream, or wine.
  • Serve with a side of bread or salad: This will help to complete the meal and make it more satisfying.
