Ingredients

300 g Fettuccine Or Any Pasta
2 Chicken Breasts, Halved Horizontally
2 Tablespoons Butter
2 Cloves Garlic, Minced
½ Cup Chicken Broth
1 ¼ Cups Heavy Cream
¾ Cup Parmesan Cheese, Finely Grated
70 g Fresh Spinach
100 g Sun-Dried Tomato Strips
Salt And Black Pepper To Taste

Optional:
120 g Cooked Bacon, Crumbled
Fresh Parsley For Garnish

Directions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions until almost tender. Reserve a small cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta.
  • Season the chicken with salt and black pepper. Melt half of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the pan and shred the chicken using two forks.
  • In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and allow it to simmer while scraping any browned bits from the pan.
  • Add the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, stirring gently. Let the sauce simmer for several minutes until it thickens slightly. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Add the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, and spinach into the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated with the creamy sauce. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a small amount of reserved pasta water.
  • Serve the chicken pasta hot, topped with additional Parmesan cheese, crumbled bacon, and fresh parsley if desired.
