  1. Pre-heat oven to 350ºF.
  2. In a shallow plate or bowl combine 1½ cups flour, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning. Dredge chicken in the mixture, shaking off any excess.
  3. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet. Cook chicken breasts, 2 at a time, over medium-high heat until golden brown and crisp (2-3 min on each side). Add more oil for each batch as necessary.
  4. Place cooked chicken breasts on a baking sheet and transfer to preheated oven. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  5. Heat 2 Tablespoons oil in a sauce pan. Add garlic and red pepper and cook for approximately 1 minute. Stir in 1 Tablespoon flour, chicken broth, spinach and cream and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Stir in Parmesan cheese until it melts. Sauce is done when spinach becomes wilted and sauce has thickened.
  6. Plate portions of cooked, drained pasta on individual plates. Top with sauce, then top with chicken and more sauce. Serve and enjoy!
