I posted this link on Facebook but I had to share with my C@ friends who don't go there. I am always checking out the recipes on the Olive Garden website and this one peaked my interest a few days ago. I finally had the opportunity to make it tonight and it far exceeded my expectations. We really LOVED it and even now, an hour after dinner the house smells soooo good! :doubleup: Olive Garden Italian Restaurant - Recipes - Recipe Search

Procedures
Pre-heat oven to 350ºF.
- MIX 1½ cups flour, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in the mixture, shaking off any excess.

- 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.
- HEAT 2 Tbsp oil in a sauce pan. Add garlic and red pepper and cook for approximately 1 minute. Stir in 1 Tbsp flour, wine, spinach and cream and bring to a boil. Sauce is done when spinach becomes wilted. Complete by stirring in parmesan cheese.
- COAT cooked, drained pasta with sauce, then top with chicken and remaining sauce. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese.
