Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, sliced into strips
2 tbsp olive oil
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
2 cups baby spinach
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
250g pasta (penne or fettuccine)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: chili flakes for heat, fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and cook chicken until golden and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté garlic and sun-dried tomatoes for 1–2 minutes.
Pour in cream, stir in parmesan, and simmer until thickened (about 3–5 minutes).
Add spinach, let it wilt, then return chicken and cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the sauce.
Serve warm, topped with more cheese or herbs if desired.
