Description
A delicious and creamy Chicken with Pasta recipe that combines juicy chicken breasts, tender pasta, and a flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts, diced
- 2 cups pasta of your choice
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup spinach
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Grated Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. Once done, drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the chicken until it’s browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed, then toss in the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Next, add the cherry tomatoes and spinach. Cook until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning.
- Add the chicken back to the skillet, mixing everything well. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Finally, toss the cooked pasta into the sauce and stir until well coated. Serve hot and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
Ensure the chicken is fully cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
