Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips or chunks
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • to taste Salt and black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
For the Sauce
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 oz fresh spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
For Serving
  • to taste Cooked pasta of your choice (fettuccine, linguine, or penne recommended)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for 30 seconds.
  3. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Cooking
  1. In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add a drizzle of oil if needed.
  2. Sauté the remaining garlic for 30 seconds, then add the spinach. Cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and let it melt, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
  5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to coat it in the Alfredo sauce. Simmer for another 1–2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  6. Add the cooked pasta directly into the skillet and toss to combine.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Make sure not to overcook the chicken to keep it tender and juicy. Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic according to your taste. For a bit of heat, add red pepper flakes while cooking the chicken. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
