Ingredients

  • 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (diced into bite size pieces) 
  • 1 Tablespoons Olive oil
  • 2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ 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 1 tbsp of olive oil in a large pot or dutch over medium high heat.  Add in 1 pound of diced chicken.  Season it with 2 teaspoons of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper.  Sauté the chicken for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is browned.  Add in 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute until aromatic. 
  • Stir in 4 cups of chicken broth, 16 ounces of linguine, 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon of 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 8 ounces of chopped spinach, 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and 1 cup of 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! 

Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days. 
You can easily make this recipe with any type of pasta.  Just make sure that you watch it closely and just cook al dente to prevent it from over cooking.
