🛒 Ingredients You’ll Need

1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 tsp Italian seasoning
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
8 oz penne pasta (or any short pasta you love)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1½ cups fresh spinach
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped

👩‍🍳 How to Make It

🥘 Step 1: Cook the Chicken

In a large pot or deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season your chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Sear until golden and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes. Set aside.

🧄 Step 2: Add Garlic

To the same pan, add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

🍜 Step 3: Simmer Pasta

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle boil. Stir in the pasta and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

🧀 Step 4: Make It Creamy

Once the pasta is cooked, stir in Parmesan cheese, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes. Let everything simmer together for 2–3 minutes until the spinach wilts and the sauce thickens.
