Learn how to make delicious Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Gather these simple ingredients, many of which you might already have in your pantry:

  • 1 pound chicken breast, sliced into strips
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cups spinach leaves
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 12 ounces fettuccine pasta
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or a mix of dried basil, oregano, and thyme)

Feel free to swap spinach for kale or use half-and-half instead of heavy cream if you’re looking for a lighter option. Cooking is all about adapting to what you have and making it work for you.

Instructions

Let’s get cooking! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a delicious meal ready in no time:

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for another 2 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and add the spinach leaves, allowing them to wilt into the sauce.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Drain and add it to the skillet.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese. Stir everything together until the pasta is well coated with the creamy sauce.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Remember, cooking times can vary based on your stove and cookware. Trust your instincts and taste as you go—it’s how great meals are made!
