Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 8 oz (225g) pasta (your choice)
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:
- Prepare the Ingredients: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, mince the garlic, and grate the Parmesan cheese. Arrange all ingredients neatly and ready to cook.
- Cook the Chicken: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and black pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
- Cook the Pasta: In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is creamy and thickened. Add the cooked chicken and fresh spinach, stirring until the spinach is wilted and everything is well combined.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
