Ingredients

• 4 pieces, boneless and skinless Chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 cups, fresh Spinach
• 1 cup, chopped Sun-dried tomatoes
• 12 ounces, uncooked Fettuccine pasta
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional for garnish) Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 2

Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the butter to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Stir in the spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.

Step 8

Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).

Step 9

Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 10

Serve the chicken and sauce over the fettuccine. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
