Creamy Chicken Pasta 🍝🍗

1 lemon (optional)
1/2 teaspoon EACH: onion powder, garlic salt, oregano, basil, mustard powder, parsley (all dried)
1/8 teaspoon smoked paprika
Instructions:
Blend half and half with chicken broth and all dried seasonings. Set aside.
Slice chicken breast in half lengthwise to form thinner cuts. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then lightly cover with flour.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the seasoned chicken until golden, about 3-4 minutes per side. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes, then cut into strips.
While the water for the pasta is boiling, deglaze the skillet with chicken broth, incorporating any flavorful remnants from the pan bottom.
Once the broth has reduced, add butter and minced garlic. Let it sizzle for a minute, then stir in flour, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
