CHICKEN FLORENTINE PASTA

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 16m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound penne
Salt
4 whole boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size chunks
Ground pepper
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
3/4 cup low-sodium broth, more if needed
3/4 cup dry white wine
1 bag baby spinach
2 cups grape tomatoes, halved lengthwise
4 ounces Parmesan, shaved with a vegetable peeler, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to package directions in lightly salted water. Drain and set aside.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the butter and olive oil over high heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken chunks in a single layer and do not stir for a minute or two in order to allow the chicken to brown on the first side. Flip the chicken and brown on the other side. Cook until done, and then remove the chicken from the skillet.
  • Turn the heat to medium. Add the garlic and quickly stir to avoid burning. After about 30 seconds, pour in the broth and wine, stirring to deglaze the skillet. Allow the liquid to bubble up, and then continue cooking until it's reduced by at least half (most of the surface of the liquid should be bubbling at this point).
  • Turn off the heat. Add the spinach, tomatoes, chicken, cooked pasta and Parmesan shavings to the skillet. Toss to combine; the spinach will wilt as you toss everything.
  • Add more Parmesan shavings and serve immediately! Serve with extra Parmesan shavings.

Provided by thedailygourmet

Categories     Chicken Pasta

Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound fettuccine
6 (4 ounce) thin boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in half
1 teaspoon cantanzaro herbs (such as Savory Spice Shop®) or Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ cup diced onion
2 tablespoons chopped sun-dried tomatoes
2 cloves minced garlic
¼ cup dry white wine (such as Pinot Grigio)
1 cup shaved Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
¾ cup heavy cream
½ cup 1% milk
1 (8 ounce) package fresh spinach

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, season both sides of the chicken breasts with herbs, salt, and pepper. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken breasts until golden, 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken from skillet, set aside, and keep warm.
  • Add the onion, sun-dried tomatoes, and garlic to the skillet, scraping up the browned bits with a spatula. Pour in wine to deglaze and allow to reduce by half.

Add cooked chicken back to skillet. Cook until flavors are well combined and chicken is heated through, about 1 more minute.
