Ingredients

  • 12 oz penne pasta
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then add to the skillet.
  • Cook the chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and let it rest before slicing.
  • In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  • Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, gradually add reserved pasta water until you reach desired consistency.
  • Add the cooked penne pasta, chicken slices, and spinach to the skillet. Toss everything gently until well combined and the spinach is wilted.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.
