Ingredients

For 4 servings

  • 2 chicken breast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese
  • 12 ounces penne pasta
  • salt — to taste
  • black pepper — to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

  3. 3

    Season chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, onion powder, dried basil, and dried oregano.

  4. 4

    Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove chicken from the skillet and let it rest.

  5. 5

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  6. 6

    Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Allow it to reduce slightly, about 3 minutes.

  7. 7

    Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

  8. 8

    Slice the cooked chicken breasts and add them back into the skillet along with the baby spinach. Cook until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.

  9. 9

    Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated.

  10. 10

    Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
