Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ cup heavy cream

½ cup chicken broth

1 cup spinach leaves

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

8 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice

Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: Begin by boiling a pot of salted water. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup of pasta water.

    Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the cherry tomatoes and Italian seasoning, cooking until the tomatoes start to burst (about 3-4 minutes).

        Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to medium, and pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the spinach leaves and Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until the spinach is wilted and the cheese is melted. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

            Toss the Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat the noodles with the creamy sauce. Slice the rested chicken and place it on top of the pasta.

              Garnish and Serve: Finish with fresh basil leaves and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy the deliciousness!
