Ingredients
- 2 tsp Italian Herbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 5 skinless chicken thighs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 onion , diced
- 2 garlic cloves , minced
- 5 tbsp sun dried tomato pesto or chopped sun dried tomatoes
- ½ pound (225g) dried penne pasta or similar pasta shapes
- 2 ½ cups (620 ml) chicken stock using a stock cube or canned
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
- 3 tbsp parmesan , freshly grated
- 3 cups (90g) baby spinach
- ½ cup (115g) tomatoes , I used cherry tomatoes
- salt and pepper to season
Instructions
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes and put in a bowl. Add the herbs, garlic granules, salt and pepper and mix together.
- Heat the oil in a large non-stick lidded pan. Add the minced garlic and onions to the pan and sauté for a couple of minutes.
- Stir in the chicken and pesto. Cook over medium heat until lightly coloured. The chicken doesn’t have to be cooked all the way through at this point.
- Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a rolling simmer.
- Add the pasta, stir well and partially cover the pan.
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and continue to cook, stirring once in a while. Cook until the pasta is al dente and liquid is slightly reduced.
- Take off the heat and stir in the cream and spinach, letting the spinach leaves wilt in the residual heat.
- Add the grated parmesan and tomatoes and stir to combine.
- Check the seasoning and serve – delicious!
