  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 12 ounces pasta (penne or fusilli work well)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 medium onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 2 cups fresh spinach
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh basil for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating One Pot Chicken Pasta is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Heat the Oil: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

2. Cook the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces to the pot. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set it aside.

3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same pot, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

4. Add Pasta and Broth: Stir in the pasta, cherry tomatoes, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a boil.

5. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is cooked al dente. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

6. Return Chicken: After the pasta is cooked, return the chicken to the pot. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts.

7. Add Cheese: Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.

8. Serve: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil if desired.

By following these straightforward steps, you will create a delicious and comforting One Pot Chicken Pasta that is sure to impress!
