"Marry Me" Chicken

My mom found this recipe while browsing Facebook. It's similar to the One Pot Pasta recipe in how all the ingredients come together, but the tools and order of operations are a bit different.

Ingredients

  • Boneless skinless chicken breast
  • Olive oil
  • Sun-dried Tomatoes
  • Tomato paste
  • Oregano
  • Red pepper flakes
  • Black pepper
  • 2.5 cups of chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 box Spinach
  • 10~11oz pasta (I like Cellentani)
  • 1 sweet/vidalia onion
  • Garlic
  • Parmigiano reggiano

  7. Let the chicken sear on both sides, then remove to separate plate
  8. Add oil from jar of sun-dried tomatoes
  9. Add sliced onion to pot and let onions cook
  10. Add sun-dried tomatoes and garlic as onions finish cooking
  11. Once onions, tomatoes, and garlic are cooked, add 2 quarter-sized drops of tomato paste
  12. Mix onions, tomatoes, and garlic with tomato paste and cook for an extra minute
  13. Add 2.5 cups of chicken broth
  14. Add oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper
  15. Stir and wait for broth to boil
  16. Add pasta once broth starts boiling
  17. While pasta is cooking, dice the seared chicken
  18. After pasta finishes cooking, add 1 cup heavy cream and stir
  19. Grate some parmigiano reggiano over the pot and stir again
  20. Add box of spinach and diced chicken, stir again
