Ingredients
  

12 oz rotini pasta

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 cup baby spinach

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the cubed chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Prepare the Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

        Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce for about 2-3 minutes. Then stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Mix well to combine and let it simmer gently for another 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet, followed by the cooked rotini. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated with the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more chicken broth or water to achieve your desired consistency.

            Add Spinach: Stir in the baby spinach and cook just until wilted, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.

              Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Creamy Garlic Chicken Rotini!
