Ingredients:
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
3 c baby spinach
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces of sun-dried tomatoes in oil drained
3 c heavy cream
1/2 c Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2-pound penne pasta
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
2 garlic cloves
Directions:
Chicken:
Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken tenders, then rub each to coat.
Place a large cast-iron skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Fill the skillet with olive oil and allow it to become hot.
Add the chicken tenders into the preheated pan, then cook all sides for a few minutes until they turn brown. Move them to a clean plate and allow them to cool. Chop into small cuts when cooled enough to handle.
Creamy Tuscan Sauce:
Place a pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add butter and let it melt.
Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes into the hot pan, then sauté for a few minutes just until aromatic. Stir in the spinach and cook for a few minutes just until wilted.
Stir in the cream until well incorporated. Let the mixture simmer.
Remove the pan from the stove, then stir in the Italian seasoning, Parmesan cheese, pepper, and salt until well incorporated.
Put the chicken slices into the pan together with the cooked pasta. Toss everything until coated with the sauce. Dish out.
Serve and enjoy!
Notes:
Place any leftovers in an airtight container, then put them in the fridge. They can last up to 5 days or 6 months in the freezer. Reheat for a few minutes before serving again.
Feel free to use broccoli or asparagus in exchange for spinach.
