A quick and delicious creamy pasta dish featuring rotisserie chicken, fresh spinach, and Parmesan, perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 8 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine)

Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic for about one minute until fragrant.
- Add heavy cream and chicken broth to the skillet; stir well and let simmer for about five minutes until slightly thickened.

Notes
Reserve some pasta water to adjust the sauce’s consistency if it becomes too thick. Fresh herbs like basil can enhance flavor.
