Pasta Preparation

Begin by cooking the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, keeping it warm.

Chicken and Cream Sauce

In a skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add bite-sized chicken pieces and cook until lightly browned. Lower the heat, then stir in cream, a blend of your preferred spices (garlic, onion, pepper, etc.), and let it simmer until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Seasoned Greens Preparation

In a separate pan, lightly sauté carrot juliennes and your choice of leafy greens (such as seaweed, spinach, or kale) in a small amount of sesame oil. Season with soy sauce, a pinch of sugar (optional), and any other seasonings you prefer until just wilted.

Assembly

Combine the cooked pasta and creamy chicken sauce, tossing gently to ensure even coating. Serve the pasta alongside the seasoned greens. Optionally, sprinkle sesame seeds over the greens for an added texture and nutty flavor.
