Ingredients

chicken breast, thinly sliced
1 piece
cooked pasta
2 cups
spinach
0.5 cup
garlic, minced
2 cloves
olive oil
1 tbsp
heavy cream
1 cup
Grated Parmesan cheese

0.5 tsp

Step-by-Step Instructions

Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced chicken in an even layer and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning as needed, until golden on the outside and cooked through.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and stir for 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown, as it can turn bitter.

Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream begins to reduce slightly.

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Keep the sauce at a low simmer and stir until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth and lightly thickened.
