Cooking Steps
  1. Prepare your ingredients by chopping the chicken and mincing the garlic.
  2. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and reserve some pasta water.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from pan.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Add soy sauce and Parmesan cheese; mix until smooth.
  5. Combine cooked pasta, chicken, and spinach in the skillet. Toss to mix well and allow the spinach to wilt slightly.
  6. Serve on plates with extra Parmesan if desired.
