Description

A delightful dish featuring juicy chicken in a creamy sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach, served over pasta.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 8 oz fettuccine pasta
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp olive oil


Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant, then stir in cream cheese until melted. Add chicken broth and sun-dried tomatoes, and bring to a simmer.
  4. Add spinach and chicken back into the skillet, mixing well.
  5. Toss in the drained pasta, ensuring it’s coated with the sauce.
  6. Sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and mix gently. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers are great for lunch. Pair with arugula salad and a glass of white wine for a perfect meal.
