- Cook the Pasta: Boil the pasta in salted water according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken and Bacon:
- Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and cook the chicken until golden and fully cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. Remove excess fat, leaving a bit for added flavor.
- Add Garlic and Creamy Sauce:
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the bacon and cook briefly until fragrant.
