Ingredients
  

8 ounces fettuccine pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips

Salt and pepper to taste

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup fresh spinach, roughly chopped

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken strips with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

        Add Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer.

          Season the Sauce: Add dried basil, oregano, red pepper flakes, and stir well. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5 minutes, until it thickens slightly.

            Combine Ingredients: Stir in the chopped spinach and let it wilt for a minute. Then, add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce.

              Finish with Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce reaches your desired creaminess. Adjust seasoning as needed.

                Serve: Divide the creamy chicken pasta among serving plates, garnishing with fresh basil leaves for added flavor and decoration.
