How to make Creamy Garlic Chicken Pasta (with Tomato & Spinach)
Step 1: Following the package directions, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain when done.
Step 2: With salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, and a generous amount of salt and pepper, season both sides of the chicken breasts.
Step 3: In a large heavy-duty pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook each side for about 5 minutes until cooked through. When done, remove from the heat and keep the chicken breasts aside.
Step 4: Add the butter to the now-empty pan. Once melted, add the garlic and cook for about a minute until aromatic. Then, add the tomato along with the spinach and continue to cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until soft and the spinach has wilted.
Step 5: Decrease the heat, then add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Stir well until completely combined and the sauce is creamy. To taste, season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 6: Into thin slices or cubes, slice the chicken, then add them back to the pan along with the pasta. Toss to combine. Enjoy!
