1 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach

Instructions

Prepare all ingredients before starting to keep the process organized.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and cook chicken pieces seasoned with salt and pepper until golden brown and fully cooked (about 6-8 minutes). Remove and set aside.
Sauté minced garlic and chopped sun-dried tomatoes in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream while stirring; then add spinach and cook until wilted (2-3 minutes).
Cook fettuccine according to package instructions; drain, reserving some cooking water.
Add drained pasta and Parmesan to the skillet, tossing everything together to coat well. If needed, add reserved water for desired creaminess.
Serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
