Main Ingredients

  • 0.5 pound spaghetti
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 0.5 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes oil-packed, drained

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • Add the chopped onion to the same skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss to coat everything in the sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

For an even richer sauce, you can add a tablespoon of butter along with the heavy cream. This recipe pairs well with a simple side salad.
