Ingredients

  • 4-6 chicken tenderloins
  • 1 lb spaghetti, cooked
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup parmesan
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon "Italian seasoning"
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, bring olive oil to temperature.
  2. Roll your tenderloins all up in the breadcrumbs. You shouldn't need to dip the chicken in anything to make it stick, just use the existing moisture.
  3. Cook the tenderloins in the already heated skillet until cooked through. About 3 minutes on each side.
  4. Remove the chicken from heat, and let it rest for about ten minutes, then slice it into bite-sized pieces.
  5. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat.  Once melted, add the garlic and saute in the butter for a couple of minutes. Please, please don't burn the garlic.
  6. Whisk in your heavy cream, and let it cook until all bubbly.
  7. whisk in the parmesan slowly. If you do it too fast it's gonna clump on the bottom and not melt very well. Go slow.
  8. If you want the sauce a little thicker,  add some cornstarch/water mix to thicken it up. I like it kinda liquidy. It coats the pasta really well.
  9. Add all the shit to the pasta, and stir it well. Sprinkle a little extra parm on it and let it get all melty.

Enjoy with a slice of Copycat Marie Callendar’s Kahlua Cream Cheese Pie for dessert!

Notes

When draining your pasta, don't rinse it. The pasta water helps the sauce stick to the pasta.
