Directions

Pasta Preparation – Boil water in a large pot. Cook the pasta al dente as per the package’s directions, usually about 8-10 minutes.
Season Chicken – Season both sides of the chicken breasts with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly.
Cook Chicken – Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
Sautee Aromatics – In the same pan, add butter and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is aromatic and slightly golden.
Add Vegetables – Introduce diced tomatoes and chopped spinach to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the tomatoes have softened.
Cream Sauce Creation – Lower the heat, pour in the heavy cream, and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese. Whisk consistently until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Combine and Serve – Drain the pasta and slice the cooked chicken into thin strips. Add both back to the pan, stir well to combine everything. Serve hot.
