Step 1: Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they are browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
Step 4: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and salt. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the seasonings.
Step 5: Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Step 6: Toss in the baby spinach leaves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Step 7: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together to combine. Cook for another minute to heat the pasta through.
Step 8: Remove from heat and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Toss gently to melt the cheese and evenly coat the pasta.
