🛒 Ingredients (Serves 4 hungry lovebirds)
For the Chicken:
- 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp butter
For the Sauce:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), sliced
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp chili flakes (optional for heat)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 cups fresh spinach
For the Pasta:
- 300g (about 10 oz) fettuccine or penne
- Salted water for boiling
🍳 Instructions & Method
1. Prepare the Pasta:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken:
- Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create cutlets (or pound to even thickness).
- Season with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil and butter.
- Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through. Remove and rest for 5 minutes, then slice thinly.
3. Make the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer 2 minutes to deglaze the pan.
- Add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Stir in Parmesan cheese and chili flakes. Taste and adjust seasoning.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted.
4. Combine:
- Toss in the cooked pasta and sliced chicken. Add reserved pasta water little by little to loosen the sauce if needed.
- Stir gently to coat everything in the luscious sauce.
5. Serve with Love:
Plate with a sprinkle of parmesan, cracked black pepper, and maybe a glass of white wine.
📖 A Brief History: A Dish With Roots and Romance
The Tuscan region of Italy is known for simple, rustic, and deeply flavorful dishes. While this particular creamy version isn’t strictly traditional, it’s inspired by Tuscan cuisine’s love for sun-dried tomatoes, fresh greens, and olive oil. American and Italian kitchens alike have adopted and adapted it, turning it into a modern comfort classic.
