Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 8 oz farfalle or penne pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil), chopped
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by chopping garlic and sun-dried tomatoes.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced chicken seasoned with salt and pepper; cook until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot.
  3. In the same pot, add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes; sauté until fragrant.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add pasta; cover and simmer until cooked al dente (about 10-12 minutes).
  5. Lower the heat; stir in heavy cream, spinach, and Italian seasoning. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until spinach wilts.
  6. Finish by adding Parmesan cheese and torn basil; mix well.

Nutrition

Keywords: To enhance flavor, sear the chicken well before cooking pasta in the same pot. You can substitute baby spinach with kale or add other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini for variety.
