Instructions
- Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the centre. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until the onions become translucent.
- Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
- Pour in the double cream, and then add grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce thickens and the cheese melts into a creamy consistency.
- Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips and return them to the skillet.
- Add the cooked penne pasta and baby spinach leaves to the skillet. Stir everything together, ensuring the pasta and spinach are well coated with the creamy sauce.
- Let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes until the spinach wilts and the pasta is heated through.
- Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste, if needed.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavour.
- Serve your delicious Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta hot, and enjoy!
