Total cook time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 package (6 oz.) spinach
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 box spaghetti
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 4 cloves garlic (about 1 tablespoon)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Garlic powder
Directions:
- Add olive oil to a large pan and season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
- In a separate pot, start boiling the water for the spaghetti.
- Add the chicken breasts to the pan. The cook time will depend on how thick they are, but mine took about 10 minutes per side to reach a safe internal temperature (165°).
- When the pasta water begins to boil, salt it and add the spaghetti (it should take about 10 minutes to cook through).
- While the chicken and spaghetti are cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes and mince the garlic.
- Drain the spaghetti and set it aside.
- When the chicken is done, place it on a separate plate and melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in the same pan.
- After the butter melts, add the garlic and the cherry tomatoes and season them with more salt and pepper. Once the tomatoes start to soften (about 3-5 minutes), add the spinach.
- Once the spinach fully wilts (another 3 minutes), add the 1/2 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese into the pan along with the Italian seasoning. Stir, then place the chicken back into the pan, too. I sliced mine first but you can certainly leave it whole.
- Serve over spaghetti.
