Steps:
- Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. Add the butter to a deep skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook over medium heat until the chicken is slightly browned on the outside.
- While the chicken is cooking, mince the garlic. Add the garlic to the skillet with the chicken and continue to sauté for one minute more.
- Add the uncooked pasta and chicken broth to the skillet with the chicken and garlic. Stir to dissolve any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Place a lid on the skillet, turn the heat up to medium-high, and bring the broth up to a boil.
- Once the broth comes to a full boil, give the pasta a quick stir, replace the lid, and turn the heat down to medium-low. Let the pasta simmer over medium-low heat for about 8 minutes, or until the pasta is tender and most of the broth has been absorbed. Stir the pasta briefly every two minutes as it simmers, replacing the lid quickly each time.
- Once the pasta is tender and most of the broth absorbed, add the milk, cream cheese (cut into chunks), and pesto. Stir and cook over medium heat until the cream cheese has fully melted into the sauce. Finally, add the grated Parmesan and stir until combined.
- If using, add the fresh spinach and sliced sun dried tomatoes. Stir until the spinach has wilted, then remove the pasta from the heat. Top the pasta with freshly cracked pepper and a pinch of crushed red pepper, then serve.

- Pat chopped chicken dry while it’s still on the cutting board and season with ½ teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Melt butter in olive oil in a 4 quart (or larger) Dutch oven over medium high heat until hot. Add chicken and cook until most of the chicken is opaque (chicken will not be cooked through). Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook an additional 30 seconds.
- Whisk 1 cup chicken broth with the cornstarch and add to the pot. Add remaining chicken broth and all remaining ingredients up to the “Add Later.”
- Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, stir, replace lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 12-16 minutes, or until pasta is tender, stirring every couple minutes and quickly replacing the lid so the pasta cooks evenly and the sauce doesn’t burn on the bottom. Add additional broth if the pasta isn't done and most of the liquid is evaporated. *Pasta may take more or less time depending on pasta used.
