A creamy garlic chicken dish with a Tuscan twist. Enough sauce to serve over noodles; cut the sauce in half for just the chicken dish.

Ingredients

12 ounces penne pasta
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast
3 teaspoons garlic powder, or to taste, divided
3 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
1 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
Season chicken breasts with 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, making sure both sides are coated.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and no longer pink in the center, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate and cut into strips or chunks.
Add cream, chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, remaining garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Whisk over medium heat until it begins to thicken, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and sun-dried tomatoes; simmer until spinach wilts and sauce reaches desired consistency, about 3 minutes more. Add chicken back to the skillet and cook until heated through.
Serve over pasta.
