Ingredients
  

8 oz fettuccine pasta

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cups baby spinach

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

        Prepare the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet along with the baby spinach. Stir until the spinach is wilted. Then, add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated with the creamy sauce.

            Serve: Transfer the creamy chicken garlic parmesan pasta to serving plates. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for some heat, if desired.
