Instructions

Cut chicken
1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil with a large pinch of salt. Mince or grate the garlic. Thinly slice the sun-dried tomatoes. Cut the chicken into 1/2-inch strips and season with salt and pepper.

Cook chicken until golden brown
2

Heat 1/2 table spoon olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, tossing 4-5 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. Set aside.

3

Add the penne to the boiling water and cook for about 9-10 minutes, until dente.

4

Meanwhile heat another 1/2 table spoon olive oil over medium heat in the same pan. Add the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes (or more if you can take the heat) and cook 30 seconds until, until fragrant. Add the diced tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes and simmer for another 4-5 minutes.

Add sour cream and spinach
5

Add sour cream and the spinach to the pan and stir until spinach wilts, about 1-2 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of pasta water. Season with salt and pepper.

Add pasta and chicken to the pan
6

If you haven't already, drain the pasta. Add it to the pan along with the chicken and toss to coat the heat through.

7

Divide pasta among bowls and top with parmesan cheese.
