*Ingredients:*

• 8 ounces (225g) pasta of your choice

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips

• 2 tablespoons cooking oil (canola oil, sunflower oil, or olive oil)

• 3 cloves of garlic, minced

• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves

• 1/2 cup milk (any type you have on hand, such as whole milk or almond milk)

• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or a suitable alternative like cornstarch or arrowroot powder)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: red pepper flakes for some heat

Instructions:***

• Cook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

• Cook the chicken: Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

• Sauté garlic and spinach: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach leaves and cook until wilted.

• Prepare the creamy sauce: In a separate small saucepan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Add the flour (or alternative thickening agent) and whisk continuously until it forms a smooth paste. Gradually whisk in the milk, a little at a time, until the sauce thickens. Continue cooking and stirring until the sauce reaches a creamy consistency.

• Combine the ingredients: Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet with garlic and spinach. Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken, spinach, and garlic. Stir well to combine and let it heat through.

• Season and serve: Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if desired) to taste. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss until everything is well coated.

• Serve: Remove from heat and serve the chicken and spinach creamy pasta immediately.

Using cooking oil as an alternative for vegetable oil should work well in this recipe. Adjust the quantities according to your taste preferences and enjoy your homemade chicken and spinach pasta!
