Marry Me Chicken Pasta
Ingredients:
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
2 cups spinach leaves
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 oz penne pasta, cooked according to package instructions
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Directions:
Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook until they start to soften, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in spinach leaves and cook until wilted.
Pour in heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy.
Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss until well coated in the sauce.
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss everything together until evenly combined.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
