Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Add pasta and cook for 7-10 minutes or until al dente. Save a cup of pasta water and drain the pasta.
Peel and dice onion and garlic. Dice jalapenos. Pick parsley leaves and roughly chop, discarding stems. Remove the husks and silks form the corn cob and stand upright, cut sweet corn kernels off the cob using a sharp knife. Cut chicken into bite sized pieces.
Heat a deep sided pan on medium high heat with a drizzle of oil. Add onions and garlic, cook for 2-3 minutes. Add bacon, cook for 2 minutes. Add chicken and brown 3-4 minutes.
Add sour cream, cream, corn, jalapenos (see tip), most of the parsley (keeping some for garnish) and a 1/4 cup of pasta water. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly and chicken is cooked through. Add spinach, pasta and cheese and cook until spinach is wilted and cheese has melted, about 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide pasta between bowls and garnish with remaining parsley, enjoy!
