A quick and creamy one pot pasta dish featuring chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and a rich sauce that’s perfect for busy nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, oil drained
  • 1 pound boneless chicken breasts or thighs, cubed
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 3/4 to 1 pound short cut pasta
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 2 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 cups chopped baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh chopped basil

Instructions

  1. Heat the pot and cook the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar with the chicken and 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning until the chicken is done, about 5 minutes.
  2. Take the chicken out and set it aside. Add butter, garlic, and the other 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning, cooking until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the pasta and 2 cups of water. Stir often so the pasta cooks evenly until it is al dente, about 8 minutes.
  4. Stir in the milk, cream cheese, and parmesan until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Add the chicken back into the pot with the spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and extra parmesan. Mix gently so the spinach wilts.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh basil.
  7. Serve right away with more parmesan and basil on top.

Notes

Use the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar for extra flavor. Do not overcook the pasta, as it continues to cook after being removed from heat.
