Prepare seasoning for chicken by mixing 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of parsley, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper in a bowl.

Cover the chicken breasts with Saran Wrap and flatten using a tenderizer.

Heat a medium pot and add garlic infused extra virgin olive oil.

Season both sides of the chicken breasts with the prepared seasoning.

Add the chicken breasts to the heated pot and cook until browned, then remove from heat.

Melt butter in the pot, then add minced onion and sauté until translucent.

Pour in white wine and cook briefly before adding drained sundried tomatoes.

Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir to combine, cooking for about a minute to remove the raw flour taste.

Gradually add chicken stock or broth, allowing the mixture to come back to a boil before adding half and half, reserving 1/2 cup.

Stir in Italian seasoning and bring to a simmer before adding macaroni, cooking for 9-10 minutes until al dente.

Add spinach to the pot and mix in, allowing it to wilt.

Turn off the heat and add mozzarella cheese, stirring until creamy.
