Instructions
For the chicken:
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken with the olive oil, paprika, granulated garlic, kosher salt and black pepper.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
For the pasta:
- In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sundried tomatoes and garlic, cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken stock and deglaze the pan, add the heavy cream, parmesan and italian seasoning, stirring to combine. Cook for 5-6 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the pasta and spinach. Stir well to combine, ensuring that the pasta and chicken are evenly coated in the sauce.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to ensure everything is heated through, stirring in fresh basil at the end of cooking.
- Serve the Tuscan chicken pasta hot, garnish with additional fresh basil and parmesan if desired. Enjoy!
