Bring the Tuscan countryside a little closer to home with a plate of creamy, al dente penne pasta. While the juicy chicken tenders, garlic and parmesan cheese are the centerpieces of this recipe, the cream cheese — while not authentically Italian — enriches the sauce; the baby spinach and sundried tomatoes balance out the dish.
