Ingredients

  • 8 ounces pasta penne or farfalle/ bowtie are my favorites for this recipe - cooked according to package instructions
  • 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast sliced
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic - peeled and minced
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese - plus more for topping
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Fresh chopped basil - optional for topping

Instructions

  1. Heat a medium skillet to medium-high heat and add the butter. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then add it to the pan with the butter. Toss and cook for 3-4 minutes per side then remove the chicken and place it onto a clean plate.
  2. Add the oil to the same pan you cooked the chicken in. Then add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, tossing it in the oil as it cooks. Add Italian seasoning, tomatoes, and cream. Season with salt and pepper and toss and cook the sauce on medium-low heat for 2 minutes. Add the cheese and spinach and cook for 3-4 minutes to melt the cheese and wilt the spinach.
  3. Then add the pasta and chicken and toss it all together in the sauce and cook for 2-3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and top with fresh chopped basil and more parmesan cheese if desired.
  4. Divide into bowls, serve hot and enjoy!
