Instructions
Preparation Steps
Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using).
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted.
Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat everything in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Notes
For an even richer sauce, you can add a tablespoon of butter along with the heavy cream. This recipe pairs well with a simple side salad.
