Tuscan Chicken Pasta

Serves: 3–4

Time: Under 30 minutes

Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients

2 x Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts

Salt & Black pepper

3 x cloves garlic, minced

120g x Sun-dried Tomatoes, Chopped (plus 1 tbsp oil from the jar)

1 tbsp x Olive Oil

50g x Grated Parmesan Cheese (plus extra for serving)

200ml x Heavy Cream

250ml x Chicken Stock

60g x Baby Spinach

250g x Dried Short Pasta (e.g. rigatoni, penne)

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)

Cracked black pepper, for garnish (optional)

Method

Prep and Cook Chicken:

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and black pepper.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.

Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and fully cooked.

Remove chicken from the pan and set aside to rest.

Make the Sauce:

Lower the heat to low.

In the same pan, add 1 tbsp oil from the sun-dried tomato jar and the minced garlic.

Cook for about 1 minute, stirring often.

Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and stir.

Pour in the chicken stock and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it reduce slightly for 2–3 minutes.

Stir in the cream and bring to a gentle simmer (do not boil).

Cook the Pasta:

In a separate pot, boil the pasta in salted water until 2–3 minutes before al dente (a little undercooked).

Reserve ½ cup of pasta water before draining.

Combine Everything:

Remove the sauce from the heat.

Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted.

Add the drained pasta, baby spinach, and a splash of the reserved pasta water. Stir to combine.

Slice the rested chicken and return it to the pan.

Stir everything together and return the pan to low heat for a few minutes, until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta.

Serve:

Divide into bowls.

Top with more Parmesan, fresh basil leaves, and cracked black pepper if desired.
