2 pieces chicken breast, diced Make sure to dice the chicken breast into small pieces for even cooking.
200 g fettuccine pasta Feel free to substitute any pasta type you have, such as penne or spaghetti.
240 ml heavy cream Can be replaced with a mixture of Greek yogurt and chicken broth for a lighter version.
3 cloves garlic, minced Adjust amount based on personal preference.
50 g parmesan cheese, grated For a dairy-free version, use nutritional yeast instead.

Method

Cooking

In a large pot, heat olive oil and sauté minced garlic until fragrant.
Add diced chicken breast and cook until browned.
Stir in fettuccine, spinach, heavy cream, and enough water to cover the pasta.
Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the pasta is al dente.
Stir in grated parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper, and serve.

To store leftovers, let cool completely and transfer to an airtight container. Refrigerate for about 3-4 days or freeze for later use. Texture of pasta may change after thawing.
