HOW TO MAKE CREAMY TUSCAN CHICKEN PASTA

Step 1: Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the fettuccine according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2: Season the Chicken

Season the chicken strips with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 3: Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4: Make the Cream Sauce

In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring well. Let simmer for 3–4 minutes.

Add the parmesan cheese slowly while stirring until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

Step 5: Add the Vegetables

Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts.

Step 6: Combine Everything

Add the cooked pasta and chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together until evenly coated in the creamy sauce.

Step 7: Garnish & Serve

Top with fresh parsley and extra parmesan cheese before serving.

Enjoy warm!
