Ingredients

  • 250 g Penne Pasta
  • 2 Boneless Chicken Breasts
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 small Onion finely Chopped
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 200 g Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 200 ml Double Cream
  • 100 g Baby Spinach Leaves
  • 50 g Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 1 tsp Dried Italian Herbs
  • Salt adjust to taste
  • Black Pepper adjust to taste
  • Fresh Basil Leaves for garnish

Instructions

  • Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and dried Italian herbs.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and no longer pink in the centre. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
  • In the same skillet, add chopped onions and minced garlic. Sauté for a few minutes until the onions become translucent.
  • Add halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.
  • Pour in the double cream, and then add grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce thickens and the cheese melts into a creamy consistency.
  • Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips and return them to the skillet.
  • Add the cooked penne pasta and baby spinach leaves to the skillet. Stir everything together, ensuring the pasta and spinach are well coated with the creamy sauce.
  • Let the mixture simmer for a couple of minutes until the spinach wilts and the pasta is heated through.
  • Season with additional salt and black pepper to taste, if needed.
  • Garnish with fresh basil leaves for a burst of flavour.
  • Serve your delicious Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta hot, and enjoy!
