Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring it to a rolling boil. Cook the fettuccine at a boil until slightly firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, season both sides of the chicken breasts with herbs, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken breasts until golden, 3 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet, set it aside, and keep warm.

Add the onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic to the skillet, scraping up the browned bits with a spatula. Pour in the wine to deglaze and let it reduce by half. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and cream until the sauce begins to thicken. If the sauce seems too thick, add milk (or more cream) and stir to combine.

Place the spinach in the bottom of a colander. Carefully drain the pasta into the colander to wilt the spinach with the hot pasta water. Add the pasta and spinach to the sauce in the skillet and mix to combine. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Cook until the flavors are well combined and the chicken is heated through, about 1 more minute.

To serve, place the pasta mixture in a bowl, top with a cooked chicken breast, and serve with more Parmesan cheese if desired.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
