Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Bow tie pasta (farfalle)
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 cups Fresh spinach leaves
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the bow tie pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from skillet and let rest on a cutting board. Slice into thin strips when slightly cooled.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the chicken broth to the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the pan with a wooden spoon. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and black pepper. Mix well until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and spinach to the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are softened.
Return the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat it evenly in the sauce.
Gently fold in the sliced chicken and let everything warm through for 2 minutes.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.
