In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chicken in olive oil until golden brown (5-7 minutes).
Add minced garlic and sauté for one minute; then pour in heavy cream and soy sauce.
Stir in dried herbs, simmering to thicken the sauce.
Combine cooked pasta with the sauce, tossing until well-coated. Adjust consistency with reserved pasta water if needed.
