- Thicken the Sauce: Thirty minutes before serving, stir in the cornstarch slurry and fresh spinach. Stir gently to incorporate.
- Cook the Pasta: Meanwhile, prepare the fettuccine according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Shred or Slice the Chicken: At this point, use two forks to shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces or slice as desired.
