Steps:
- Cook the pasta according to package directions in lightly salted water. Drain and set aside.
- Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the butter and olive oil over high heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken chunks in a single layer and do not stir for a minute or two in order to allow the chicken to brown on the first side. Flip the chicken and brown on the other side. Cook until done, and then remove the chicken from the skillet.
- Turn the heat to medium. Add the garlic and quickly stir to avoid burning. After about 30 seconds, pour in the broth and wine, stirring to deglaze the skillet. Allow the liquid to bubble up, and then continue cooking until it's reduced by at least half (most of the surface of the liquid should be bubbling at this point).
- Turn off the heat. Add the spinach, tomatoes, chicken, cooked pasta and Parmesan shavings to the skillet. Toss to combine; the spinach will wilt as you toss everything.
- Add more Parmesan shavings and serve immediately! Serve with extra Parmesan shavings.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. This is especially true for the vegetables, herbs, and cheese.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
- Don't crowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables and chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to stick to the pan.
- Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a good quality oil that has a fruity flavor.
- Season the dish to taste: Once the dish is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to your liking.

Florentine fettuccine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor from the fresh vegetables, chicken, and cheese. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Florentine fettuccine a try!
