Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups penne pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Method
 

  1. Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
  5. Stir in the fresh spinach and Italian seasoning, cooking until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
