Method
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, pressing down on them gently with a spoon to help them burst and release their juices.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the dry pasta, ensuring it's mostly submerged. Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let it cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally.
- Uncover the skillet and stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, and cooked chicken. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately.
