Provided by jknowles

Categories     Chicken Pasta

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste, divided
½ teaspoon blackened seasoning, or to taste
3 cups mini farfalle pasta
¾ cup fresh asparagus tips
¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup baby spinach leaves
¼ cup butter
8 ounces heavy cream
1 teaspoon white cooking wine
1 ½ cups shredded Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
3 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill for high heat and lightly oil the grate. At the same time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
  • Coat chicken with 1 tablespoon oil and season with blackened seasoning.
  • Cook chicken on the preheated grill until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
  • At the same time, add farfalle to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
  • While the farfalle is cooking, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus tips and sun-dried tomatoes; saute until asparagus is tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and cover until wilted, about 1 minute. Stir to combine and transfer to a bowl. Wipe the skillet clean.
  • Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add cream and cooking wine and cook, whisking constantly, for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese and garlic; stir until cheese is melted. Add asparagus mixture to the sauce and stir to combine.
  • Drain pasta, place in a serving bowl, and pour sauce over top. Slice chicken and place on top of pasta. Sprinkle additional Parmesan on top.

Tips:

- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Organic or free-range chicken, fresh vegetables, and a flavorful cheese will make a big difference in the final dish. - Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are best cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. - Use a variety of vegetables in your pasta dish. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients. Some good options include broccoli, bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach. - Choose a cheese that melts well. Some good choices include mozzarella, cheddar, and Parmesan. - Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. You can add herbs, spices, or other ingredients to your pasta dish to create a unique flavor profile. - Serve your pasta dish immediately. Pasta is best when it is served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Creamy chicken pasta is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful pasta dish that the whole family will love.
