Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (diced into bite size pieces)
- 1 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and chopped)
- 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
- 16 oz linguine
- 1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 4 cups low sodium chicken broth
- 8 ounces baby spinach leaves (chopped)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot or dutch over medium high heat. Add in the diced chicken. Season it with salt and pepper. Sauté the chicken for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is browned. Add in the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
- Stir in the chicken broth, linguine, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Turn the heat down to medium and cover the pot with a lid. Cook pasta in the pot until al dente (7-9 minutes). Toss the pasta with tongs occasionally so that the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the chopped spinach, heavy whipping cream and grated parmesan cheese. Stir until well incorporated. Let the mixture simmer for 1 more minute and then remove from the stove.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
