How To Make This Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta

  • In a large pot or dutch oven, coat the bottom of the pot with olive oil over medium heat and add in the diced onions and garlic. Stir and let the onions sweat for a minute.
  • Add in the sun dried tomato and mushrooms. Stir, then make a “hole” in the middle of the pot and add the chicken cubes with dried basil and paprika.
  • Quickly brown the chicken on each side for 1-3 minutes each. Depending on the thickness of the chicken.
  • dutch oven with chicken cubes with paprika and dried basil
  • Add in chicken stock and cream to the pot alongside the pasta and bring to a boil.
  • Lower the heat back down to a simmer and let the pasta cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally so nothing gets stuck to the bottom. Most of the liquid should be absorbed by this time.
  • Tuscan chicken pasta in a pot.
  • Add in the parmesan and spinach, stir, and let cook for another 1-3 minutes or until the pasta has cooked through and the leftover liquid has turned into a creamy sauce.
  • Serve with a bit of extra parmesan on top if you desire.
  • Cheese and spinach added to chicken pasta.

Recipes Variations

  • Chicken breasts can be swapped with chicken thighs.
  • Spinach can be swapped with another leafy green if desired.

Tips and Notes

  • The chicken cubes only need to be quickly browned on each side as it’ll continue to cook alongside the pasta after.
  • If you are worried about overcooking your chicken, you could cook your chicken cubes first in olive oil then set it aside to be added back in at the end.
  • If your pasta needs more liquid, add 1/4 cup. If you find that your pasta has too much liquid, let the liquid cook off for longer or add additional parmesan cheese to thicken the sauce.
  • Leftover Tuscan chicken pasta can be reheated on the stovetop or microwave.
