Cut the chicken breast in half straight down the middle.

Season the chicken breast with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, creole seasoning, and italian seasoning on both sides.

Bring a pot of water to a boil, adding salt for flavor.

Add half a box of fettuccine pasta to the boiling water and cook until al dente; drain and set aside.

In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil until hot; add the seasoned chicken.

Cook the chicken for about 4-6 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through; remove and let it rest for 3-5 minutes.

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of butter and melt it; then add minced garlic and cook until golden brown.

Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until translucent.

Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes (without oil) and cook for about 3-5 minutes.

Pour in 2 cups of heavy cream and stir to combine.

Add baby spinach (about two handfuls) and season the sauce with additional creole seasoning, italian seasoning, and pepper flakes.

Add the drained pasta to the sauce and stir to coat.

Sprinkle in 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese and stir until melted; add half of the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix gently.

Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes, ensuring it doesn't dry out.
