  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 6

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano and basil)
  • 12 oz pasta of choice (fettuccine recommended)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper; sear until golden brown on both sides (about 6-7 minutes per side). Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add minced garlic; sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add halved cherry tomatoes and spinach; cook until wilted.
  3. Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine while scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted.
  4. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente; drain well. Toss cooked pasta with the creamy sauce in the skillet.
  5. Let everything simmer for a couple of minutes before serving hot with extra Parmesan on top if desired.
