Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the sauce.
