Ingredients
Method
Cooking
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil to a deep 12-inch skillet or sauté pan and place it over medium heat.
- Add the chopped chicken and cook, stirring frequently. Season the chicken with Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper; continue cooking for approximately 4 minutes or until completely cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
- Add the remaining olive oil to the pan and include the onions. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
- Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute or two.
- Pour in the chicken broth, add the diced tomatoes, pasta, crushed red pepper, salt, and pepper, and stir to combine.
- Stir in the cooked chicken and bring to a boil. Cover the skillet, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the pasta is tender, approximately 15 minutes.
- Stir in the half-and-half and mozzarella, letting it simmer for another minute or until the cheese has melted into a creamy concoction.
- Remove from heat and stir in the fresh spinach until it wilts from the heat of the pasta.
- Top with Parmesan cheese and serve hot.
Notes
For extra brightness, add a splash of lemon juice before serving. For meal prep, consider cooking the chicken in bulk ahead of time and storing in portions.
