Ingredients
  

8 oz spaghetti

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, diced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup spinach leaves

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of pasta water.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Cook the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the diced onion and cook until translucent, around 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Make the Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and adjust salt and pepper to taste.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the halved cherry tomatoes and spinach to the skillet. Cook until the tomatoes soften and the spinach wilts, about 3-4 minutes.

            Mix in Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and mix well. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a bit of the reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

              Toss with Pasta: Add the drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.

                Garnish and Serve: Divide the creamy chicken spaghetti among plates, garnishing with fresh basil and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm.
