📜 A Little History

While this dish isn’t straight out of Tuscany, it takes inspiration from Tuscan flavors — garlic, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach — blended with creamy American-style pasta night vibes.

It’s the kind of meal that became a viral hit across workplaces, food blogs, and kitchens because it delivers BIG flavor with minimal stress.

🧩 The Formation of a Weeknight Hero

This dish works because of balance:

Creaminess from the heavy cream and cheese
Salt and tang from sun-dried tomatoes
Warmth from garlic and herbs
Protein-packed chicken
And comforting, hearty pasta to hold it all

It’s like a team-building exercise that actually works.

🛒 Ingredients

🍗 For the Chicken:

2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs), sliced thin
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt & black pepper, to taste
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter

🥛 For the Creamy Sauce:

3–4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
2 cups fresh baby spinach
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper to taste

🍝 For the Pasta:

12 oz penne, fettuccine, or your favorite pasta
Salted water for boiling

🍳 Instructions & Methods

1️⃣ Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Drain and set aside. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water.

2️⃣ Cook the Chicken

Season sliced chicken with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add chicken pieces and cook 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked.
Remove from skillet and set aside.

3️⃣ Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, lower heat to medium.
Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
Pour in chicken broth and simmer 1–2 minutes to deglaze the pan.
Stir in heavy cream and Italian seasoning. Let simmer gently for 2–3 minutes.
Stir in Parmesan cheese. Let it melt into a creamy, rich sauce.
Add spinach and stir until wilted (1–2 minutes).

4️⃣ Bring It All Together

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
Add the cooked pasta and toss to coat in the sauce.
If needed, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.

5️⃣ Serve Hot

Garnish with more Parmesan, cracked pepper, and fresh basil if desired.
Serve with garlic bread and a glass of white wine — because you deserve it.

🧠 Methods That Elevate This Dish

Slice chicken thin so it cooks quickly and stays juicy.
Don’t skip the sun-dried tomatoes — they add an umami punch you’ll miss if omitted.
Use freshly grated Parmesan — pre-shredded won’t melt as smoothly.
Reserve pasta water — the starch helps bind the sauce beautifully.
