Instructions:

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

3. In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed and sauté the sliced bell peppers for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

5. Stir in the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes until they start to soften.

6. Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet along with the fresh spinach. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.

8. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

9. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the creamy sauce.

10. Serve the creamy chicken and spinach pasta hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
