  3. Add mushrooms to the skillet and sauté until tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.

  4. Stir spaghetti sauce, half-and-half, and Italian seasoning into the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, 10 to 15 minutes.

  5. Return cooked chicken to the skillet, then add spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes.

  6. Add cooked pasta and mozzarella cheese to the chicken and sauce; stir until melted. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil.
