Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts for juicy protein
  • 8 oz pasta (fettuccine or penne) choose your favorite shape
  • 1 cup heavy cream for that creamy richness
  • 1 cup chicken broth enhances the flavor
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped adds sweetness and depth
  • 2 cups spinach for freshness and color
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated works as a tasty thickener
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced for aromatic flavor
  • Salt and pepper to taste to amplify the taste
  • Olive oil for cooking the chicken

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Cook the pasta until al dente, drain, and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet, season chicken with salt and pepper, and cook until golden. Remove and slice.
  3. Sauté minced garlic in the same skillet until fragrant.
  4. Add heavy cream and chicken broth, then stir in sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Let simmer.
  5. Mix in Parmesan cheese until melted.
  6. Combine cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the sauce.
  7. Serve warm, adding more Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, add a splash of chicken broth or cream to restore moisture.
