A comforting Italian pasta dish combining tender chicken, vibrant vegetables, and a rich creamy sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 8 oz pasta (e.g., fettuccine or penne)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, keeping a splash of pasta water handy, just in case.
  2. Sear the chicken breasts in a large skillet with olive oil, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and slice.
  3. Sauté minced garlic in the same skillet until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Roast the cherry tomatoes and spinach until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes soften.
  5. Create the creamy sauce by stirring in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Combine the cooked pasta and sliced chicken into the sauce, tossing to coat.
  7. Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil.

Notes

If you have leftovers, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat gently, adding a splash of cream or water to restore the sauce’s texture.
