Description

This One-Pot Creamy Chicken and Spinach Pasta is a quick and delicious meal that combines tender chicken, fresh spinach, and creamy sauce, all cooked in one pot for easy cleanup.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 6-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
  • In the same pot, add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth, milk, and pasta. Stir well and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes creamy. Add the chicken back to the pot along with the spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For added flavor, consider marinating the chicken in Italian seasoning before cooking.
