Ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound chicken breast, diced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup uncooked pasta (e.g., penne or rotini)
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup fresh spinach (optional)
Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions
Prepare the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the diced chicken with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until golden brown and fully cooked, about 6–8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the pasta: In the same skillet, add the uncooked pasta, chicken broth, and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pasta is tender and the sauce thickens.
Combine and finish: Stir in the Parmesan cheese, cooked chicken, and spinach (if using). Mix until well combined and the spinach wilts. Adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Serving and Storage Tips
Serving: This dish is best enjoyed fresh and warm. Pair it with a crisp side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, adding a splash of cream or broth if the sauce thickens too much.
