Instructions

Begin by seasoning the chicken with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet or Dutch oven.
Sauté the garlic in the heated oil for about 30 seconds until it becomes fragrant.
Add the chicken cubes to the skillet and continue to sauté until they turn a nice brown color, which usually takes around 5 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer.
Stir in the angel hair pasta, cover the skillet, and let it cook for about 4 to 6 minutes. Always stir occasionally to ensure that the chicken and pasta are thoroughly cooked. You can check if the chicken is done using a meat thermometer inserted into the center, ensuring it reaches 170°F.
Take the skillet off the heat and add the spinach, heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, and the seasonings (red crushed pepper flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste). Stir all the ingredients together.
Serve this delicious dish with some crusty bread and a refreshing side salad.
