Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 1.5 lbs (680 g)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped, (240 ml)
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta (225 g)
  • 1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (120 ml)
  • 2 tbsp Napa Valley extra virgin olive oil (30 ml)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (480 ml)

Method
 

  1. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear chicken for 5-7 minutes until golden brown on both sides. Remove and let rest.
  2. Add minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for one minute. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and cook for two minutes. Deglaze the pan with water or broth.
  3. Pour in heavy cream while stirring continuously until combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and stir in Parmesan cheese until melted.
  4. Return the chicken to the skillet, add the spinach, and cook for approximately three minutes until the spinach wilts.
  5. Cook fettuccine until al dente according to package instructions, then drain and set aside.
  6. Toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the sauce until the noodles are thoroughly coated.

Notes

Searing the chicken: I always wait for a deep golden crust to form before flipping the breasts because those caramelized bits at the bottom of the pan are where all the magic happens for the sauce
