Ingredients
  

Pasta
  • 12 oz Fusilli or penne pasta or any pasta of choice
Chicken
  • 2 lbs Boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced into strips
Vegetables
  • 2 cups Fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
Sauce
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper to taste
Oil
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil for cooking

Method
 

Cook the Pasta
  1. In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken
  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
  2. Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Combine
  1. Add the cooked chicken and spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts. Add the cooked pasta and toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce.
Serve
  1. Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
