Creamy Italian Chicken Pasta

Here’s a recipe for Creamy Italian Chicken Pasta:

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into thin slices)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 small onion (chopped)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped)
• 1 cup baby spinach
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 oz fettuccine or your favorite pasta
• Fresh basil or parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the Pasta:
   • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken:
   • In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken breasts, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, and cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until softened and fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
   • Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
   • Stir in the Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and baby spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts and the cheese is melted, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Combine Pasta and Chicken:
   • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to coat it with the sauce.
   • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together until the pasta is well coated in the creamy sauce.
5. Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
