Description

A delicious creamy pasta dish featuring chicken, fresh spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
  • 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz pasta (fettuccine or penne)
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients on your counter for easy access.
  2. Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the chicken to the skillet, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown (about 6-7 minutes).
  4. Stir in minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes; sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream while stirring continuously; stir until spinach wilts and cheese melts.
