One Pot Cheesy Chicken Pasta + Video

baby spinach leaves (divided)

tomatoes

onion

chicken breasts

garlic (sliced)

dry linguine

Italian seasoning

salt

pepper

red pepper flakes

chicken stock

(1 cup) chardonnay wine

Parmesan cheese (shredded)

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.

Turn off the heat and add the cheese to the pasta. Toss pasta with tongs until the cheese melts into the pasta. Toss in remaining spinach.

Serve and enjoy!

Absolutely love this recipe. It’s quick, easy and doesn’t create a bunch of dirty dishes. I never have leftovers of this dish in my house. I changed up the recipe a bit with the tomatoes bc the sun dried tomatoes are tough and we’re just not a fan of them. So I substituted the sun dried tomatoes with fresh grape tomatoes and it is so darn good!!!

So glad I found your site!  I'm normally a timid, marinara-on-some-pasta, kind of cook.  I got the nerve to try this recipe, and my family and I couldn't be happier!  What a wonderful, easy change of pace.  Thank you so much for your work, and I can't wait to try more recipes!

Just made this. So quick and easy. Turned out great! Left out the red peppers because wife can't handle even mildly spicy. Still, think it needed something... Maybe if I used fresh herbs, the flavor would be a bit more bold and make up for lack of red peppers. I'm definitely gonna make it again!

DH and I both enjoyed this meal. Once all the prep was done, it went together quickly, but, truly, can anyone do that amount of prep in 10 minutes? Not me, even if you don't include clean-up. It makes a lot. I hope it freezes well.

I recently found this recipe on Facebook. Made it tonight for the first time!!  OMG!  It is delish and easy! Will definitely be on my rotation list.

I'm a little shocked that throwing raw chopped chicken, pasta &amp; everything else in the pot at the same time comes out perfectly.  I added my spinach at the end.  Wow, what a time saver &amp; this meal is delicious!  Hubby doesn't like the tomatoes but a remake without them is just as tasty.  I left the red pepper flakes &amp; cheese to add at the end for individual preference.  It was an awesome meal!

Love this recipe! Have been making it for quite awhile &amp; everyone always loves it.

Oven Baked Cheesy Chicken Alfredo Bake

(shredded chicken)

Alfredo sauce

mozzarella cheese

Parmesan cheese

olive oil

Salt

Pepper

parsley

Preheat Oven &amp; Cook Pasta: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions until it is al dente (still firm to the bite). This typically takes about 8-10 minutes. Drain the pasta thoroughly and set it aside. Al dente pasta works best as it will continue cooking in the oven without becoming mushy.

Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked penne pasta, shredded chicken, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the pasta and chicken are evenly coated with the sauce. Be careful not to break the pasta while mixing.

Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with olive oil. This prevents sticking and adds a subtle flavor to the edges of your casserole.

Assemble &amp; Top: Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the pasta mixture, creating a uniform layer that will melt into a golden crust.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, golden brown, and bubbly, and the casserole is heated through. For a more golden top, you can broil for the last 1-2 minutes, but watch carefully to prevent burning.

Cool &amp; Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This resting period allows the casserole to set slightly and makes it easier to portion. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley if desired for a pop of color and fresh flavor.
