Ingredients

Scale

3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb)
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
8 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups fresh spinach (optional)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces and mince garlic.
Boil salted water in a large pot; add pasta and cook until al dente (8-10 minutes). Drain and set aside.
In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook until golden brown (7-10 minutes). Remove from skillet.
Sauté garlic in the same skillet for about 30 seconds; add spinach if using until wilted. Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth; simmer while scraping the skillet for flavor.
Return chicken to the skillet along with drained pasta. Toss everything together until coated with the sauce; sprinkle with parmesan before serving.
