1

Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

2

Heat a pot over medium-high heat and add a splash of olive oil and a knob of butter until shimmering.

3

Season chicken pieces generously with salt and pepper; add to the pot in a single layer.

4

Cook chicken for about 5-7 minutes until nicely browned; remove and set aside on a plate.

5

Lower heat to medium; add chopped onion to the pot and cook for about 2 minutes until softened.

6

Add minced garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes; stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

7

Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pot; bring to a gentle boil.

8

Add uncooked pasta, Italian seasoning, and another pinch of salt and pepper; stir to ensure pasta is submerged in the broth.

9

Cook pasta until al dente, stirring occasionally; reduce heat to low once cooked.

10

Slowly pour in heavy cream and stir until combined; sprinkle in grated parmesan cheese and stir until melted and the sauce is velvety.

11

Add cooked chicken back into the pot along with any juices; let warm through for 1-2 minutes.

12

Toss in large handfuls of fresh spinach; stir until wilted and combined with the sauce.
