While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, if using.

In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the pan and allow to cool slightly before slicing into strips.
