To create the rich and creamy Alfredo sauce that forms the heart of your Creamy Spinach Chicken Alfredo Delight, start by melting butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Be cautious not to let the garlic brown, as this can impart a bitter flavor to your sauce.

Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

3 cups fresh spinach (washed and chopped)

8 ounces fettuccine pasta

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 cloves garlic (minced)

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.

    Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing it into thin strips.

      Sauté the Spinach: In the same skillet, add the chopped spinach and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the spinach wilts and the garlic becomes fragrant.

        Make the Alfredo Sauce: Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour in the heavy cream and stir, allowing it to warm through. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning, stirring until the cheese fully melts and the sauce thickens slightly. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.

          Combine Everything: Add the cooked fettuccine and sliced chicken into the skillet with the Alfredo sauce. Toss gently until everything is well coated in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat through. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary.

            Serve: Plate your creamy spinach chicken Alfredo, garnishing with fresh basil if desired. Enjoy your delicious creation!
