Scale
2 chicken breasts
8 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine)
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth

Instructions
Cook the pasta according to package instructions; drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and add the chicken breasts. Season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and slice.
In the same skillet, add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add sun-dried tomatoes, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Add spinach and cook until wilted.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, then add the cooked pasta and sliced chicken. Toss to combine.
Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.
Notes
For a lighter version, you can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a non-dairy alternative.
Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.
This dish pairs well with a side salad or garlic bread.
