One Pot Italian Chicken Pasta

Ingredients

• 1 pound Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts (diced into bite size pieces) 
• 1 Tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup Sun-Dried Tomatoes (drained and chopped) 
• 1 Tablespoon minced garlic
• 16 oz Linguine
• 1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
• ½ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes (optional) 
• 4 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
• 8 ounces Baby Spinach Leaves (chopped)
• 1 cup Heavy Whipping Cream 
• 1 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese 

Instructions

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot or dutch over medium high heat.  Add in the diced chicken.  Season it with salt and pepper.  Sauté the chicken for 3-4 minutes until the chicken is browned.  Add in the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute until aromatic. 
• Stir in the chicken broth, linguine, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes.  Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.  Turn the heat down to medium and cover the pot with a lid.  Cook pasta in the pot until al dente (7-9 minutes).  Toss the pasta with tongs occasionally so that the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.  
• Reduce the heat to a simmer and stir in the chopped spinach, heavy whipping cream and grated parmesan cheese.  Stir until well incorporated.  Let the mixture simmer for 1 more minute and then remove from the stove.  
• Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
