Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

3 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning blend

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

4 cups low-sodium chicken broth

12 ounces fettuccine pasta

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions
 

Sauté the Chicken: In a large pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the chicken pieces to the pot, seasoning them generously with salt, pepper, and the Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, approximately 5-7 minutes. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.

    Sauté the Garlic: In the same pot, reduce the heat slightly and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant and just beginning to brown—careful not to let it burn, as this will affect the flavor.

      Add Broth and Pasta: Carefully pour in the chicken broth, raising the heat to bring it to a simmer. Stir in the fettuccine pasta, ensuring every strand is submerged in the liquid. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and has absorbed some of the broth.

        Combine Ingredients: Once the pasta is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly until the sauce is creamy and there are no lumps. If you are adding spinach, incorporate it at this point, stirring gently until it wilts and is well-distributed throughout the pasta.

          Return Chicken to the Pot: Gently fold the cooked chicken back into the pot, mixing everything together until it is evenly combined. Allow it to simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until everything is heated through and the flavors meld.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove the pot from heat and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a vibrant finish. Serve immediately in warm bowls, allowing everyone to enjoy the creamy goodness.
