Provided by Donna Elick

Categories     Main

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces baby spinach leaves (divided)
1 cup sun dried tomatoes packed in oil with Italian herbs (drained (about 7 ounces))
1 large yellow onion (sliced)
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (cut into 1/2" bite sized pieces)
6 cloves garlic (sliced)
1 pound dry linguine
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
32 ounces (4 cups) reduced sodium chicken stock
8 ounces (1 cup) chardonnay wine
4 ounces fresh Parmesan cheese (shredded)

Steps:

  • Combine 1/2 of the spinach with the tomatoes, onion, chicken, garlic, pasta, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and crushed red pepper in a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Pour chicken stock and wine over top. Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Cook 7-9 minutes until pasta is al dente (with a bite to it). Toss pasta with tongs occasionally to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot. You will still have some liquid in the pan when the pasta is done cooking. This is going to make the base for our delicious cheese sauce.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemon juice: Fresh lemon juice adds a bright, tangy flavor to the dish that cannot be matched by bottled lemon juice.
  • Grate your own Parmesan cheese: Pre-grated Parmesan cheese often contains additives and fillers, which can affect the taste and texture of the dish. Grating your own Parmesan cheese ensures that you get the best flavor and quality.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is tough and dry. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a large pot: This dish creates a lot of steam, so it's important to use a large pot to prevent boiling over.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after cooking. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This one-pot cheesy lemon chicken pasta recipe is a quick, easy, and delicious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of tender chicken, tangy lemon, and creamy Parmesan cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even more flavorful and enjoyable. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta recipe, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
