Introduction
A quick, rich, and comforting weeknight pasta featuring seasoned seared chicken, sundried tomatoes, and fresh spinach tossed in a creamy parmesan sauce with pasta shells.
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs in a bowl with salt, black pepper, paprika, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil, then mix thoroughly to coat.
Step 2
Sear the seasoned chicken in a hot pan for 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove from the pan, let it rest, and then chop into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
In the same pan, lower the heat, add the sliced garlic and butter, and sauté for about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Stir in the chopped sundried tomatoes, then pour in the chicken stock and heavy cream. Whisk the mixture together.
Step 5
Add grated parmesan cheese, fresh baby spinach, the chopped chicken, and an additional half-cup of grated parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring well.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always let the seared chicken rest before chopping to keep the meat juicy.
Sauté garlic on low heat to prevent it from burning and becoming bitter.
Using the same pan to cook the sauce helps incorporate all the flavorful browned bits (fond) left behind by the chicken.
