Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Pasta and Chicken
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a full boil, then cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside, but reserve a bit of the pasta water for later if you like a creamier sauce.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside; keep warm.
Making the Sauce
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. You want a light golden color—don’t let it burn!
- Toss in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, letting the flavors meld together.
- Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then stir in the heavy cream and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add the fresh spinach to the sauce, cooking just until wilted, about a minute.
Combining Ingredients
- Slice the chicken breast, and return it to the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is coated with the sauce.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let it melt into the sauce. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper.
Serving
- Finish your dish with fresh parsley sprinkled on top before serving. Enjoy with crusty bread for the ultimate comfort experience!
Notes
Timing is key: It's best to time your pasta and sauce to finish simultaneously. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
