Directions 👩🍳
Cook Pasta: Prepare pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Cook the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
Prepare the Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Make it Creamy: Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Add Spinach & Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes, cooking for 2-3 minutes until spinach is wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combine: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it in the creamy sauce. Place the chicken on top or slice it and mix into the pasta.
Serve: Garnish with extra Parmesan and fresh basil if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the Tuscan flavors!
