Season the chicken pieces with salt and black pepper, then dredge them in the all-purpose flour, shaking off the excess.
3
In a large skillet, heat the unsalted butter and extra virgin olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until no longer pink on the outside, then remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4
In the same skillet, reduce heat to low, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in chicken broth, freshly squeezed lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Italian seasoning. Allow the mixture to simmer for about a minute.
5
Stir in heavy cream, fresh baby spinach, and the cooked chicken to the skillet. Let it simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the spinach has wilted.
6
Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the creamy sauce to fully coat.
7
Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, and season with additional salt and black pepper if needed. Serve the pasta hot.
