Tuscan Chicken Pasta

spaghetti

olive oil

boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/4 pounds)

Kosher salt

black pepper

bacon

garlic

c. diced tomatoes (fresh

c. baby spinach

heavy cream

c. Parmesan

Freshly torn basil,

This is delicious and easy.  I braised boneless skinless chicken thighs on the stove because I prefer the texture of braised meat in pasta.  The bonus was that I used the leftover broth for the pasta instead of the pasta water.  I added mushrooms and did a combo of zoodles and pasta to get some extra veggies into the meal.  So good!

Love this recipe, amazing flavor.  It was a mess to make but worth it.  I used frozen garlic from Trader Joes and put about 1/4 cup white wine and fresh lemon juice in both the chicken and veggies (1/2 cup total of each).  The sauce remained light and had nice depth with the added flavors.

This recipe is amazing! I’ve made it twice now, once exactly as written and one with a couple changes. As it is, I give it four stars, but with the changes it’s definitely five (in my humble opinion :-P).  The second time I made it, I took out the spinach and subbed in half of a large yellow onion, then quadrupled the sauce.  My husband and I love extra sauce on everything so you don’t have to do this if you don’t like saucy pasta dishes. I highly recommend you all give it a try! This recipe is great because you can actually make most of it ahead of time (chop the veggies and cook the bacon and chicken), so if you ever want to bring it to a party you can prep most of it ahead of time and finish it when you arrive. Enjoy! :-)

I followed the recipe exactly and it was delicious. Definitely a family staple now.

I didn’t have any bacon so used sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms instead. Substituted Kefir and milk for thick cream.  Family loved it.

Just made this and it was DELICIOUS! I actually used a whole can of diced tomatoes and even poured the juice from the can to make the sauce and it turned out heavenly. I would add more bacon and garlic next time just because I love those ingredients! Super easy to make and relatively on the cheaper side which makes it even better. It’s also a good meal to heat up the next day.

This is a dish that makes you say "Yummy!"  The sauce is creamy and the tomatoes and spinach are a wonderful combination with the chicken and pasta.  I have shared this recipe several times, and have had positive responses!!

So good. Made it without the tomatoes because i am picky, but it was super delish! <3

This recipe is excellent! My husband is a rather picky eater and loved this pasta dish. We added a little bit of red chili flakes at the end and it was divine!

Super simple and it tastes amazing!  Used chicken broth instead of pasta water as suggested by another reviewer.  Thank you for this recipe!

Our favorite pasta recipe.  We add 1 cup fresh cut mushrooms, save about 1/2 cup of pasta water and add frozen peas or asparagus.  We always use fresh cherry tomatoes and cut them in half.  Also we add about 1 tablespoon of red chili flakes.

Wow, love it. I added  some Hatch Green Chili to the dish

This was the best quick idea of pasta I have made in a while.

Amazing! We made the mistake of following the recipe with the amount of chicken though... we had spare chicken for a whole week of lunches. But otherwise super delicious and easy! My fave pasta recipe

This is dank. Add a cup of sliced white mushrooms to put it over the top. 👌

Feed your family a delicious dinner with chicken and broccoli pasta tossed in a flavorful lemon cream sauce.

Chicken and Broccoli Pasta

water

salt

rotini (2 ½ cups)

broccoli florets (1” pieces)

chicken breast

black pepper (divided)

olive oil (divided)

heavy whipping cream

unsalted chicken stock (or broth)

parmesan cheese

lemon zest

lemon juice

Cook the Pasta and Broccoli - In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add 1 ½ teaspoon salt, and stir to dissolve. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes, or according to the manufacturer&#39;s directions. A few minutes before the pasta is ready, add the broccoli florets. Cook until bright green and tender, about 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of starchy water to make the cream sauce. Drain the pasta and broccoli.

Prepare the Chicken - Cut the chicken breast into about 1-inch cubes—season with 1 teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.

Cook the Chicken - Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once the pan is hot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the chicken in a single layer, and cook without moving until the surface is golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean bowl.

Saute the Garlic - Heat the same skillet used to cook the chicken and adust to low heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and minced garlic, and saute until fragrant, 30 seconds.

Reduce the Cream - Stir in the heavy cream, chicken stock, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Frequently scrape the sides and bottom of the pan to ensure the cream does not curdle. Reduce the sauce until it just starts to thicken and lightly coats the back of a spoon, about 5 to 6 minutes.

Finish the Sauce - Turn off the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and lemon juice. If the sauce is too thick, add the reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency—season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine and Stir - Add the pasta, broccoli, and chicken to the sauce, gently stirring to combine.

To Serve - Serve the meal garnished with chopped parsley.


Chicken and angel hair pasta in a creamy lemon parmesan sauce.


Lemon Chicken Pasta

oz angel hair pasta

lb chicken breasts, pounded to about 1/2-inch thick

pepper

garlic salt

flour

butter

garlic,

lemon juice (about 1 lemon)

lemon

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. Season chicken generously on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic salt. Then dredge chicken in flour until coated on all sides.

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. When butter is hot and starts to turn brown, add the chicken and cook on each side, flipping once, until golden brown and chicken is cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

In the same skillet, add the remaining 4 tablespoons butter. When melted and foamy, add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the cream and bring to a simmer. Add the lemon juice and zest and whisk to combine. Add the parmesan cheese and whisk until smooth and melted.

Plate the pasta and top with chicken and sauce. Garnish with extra parmesan cheese and parsley if desired. Serve and enjoy!!

This was very good and I had everything in my kitchen already.
Only thing I was missing was heavy cream, but I subbed it with whole milk and it still came out amazing!

This is a beautiful dish. I made it last night because I really wanted it, but my family loved it as well. I had chicken thighs, so that is what I used. I did think the sauce needed some more flavor so I added a touch of white pepper, black pepper and crushed red pepper, as I do all of my cream sauces. I will definitely make this again, but it doesn’t feed 5 in my house. I would definitely double the sauce next time. The lemon is delicious and it’s just the right amount. I served it with roasted broccoli with lemon zest.

This recipe tastes amazing. My husband said it is better than going to a restaurant. The amount of lemon flavor is perfect. Thank you!

Always a family favorite, easy to make and quick.  We buy chicken tenders or filets so we can skip the flatten step.

This recipe is so delicious you will want to double it.  I have made it many times and it is a family favorite!

Cajun Chicken Pasta

unsalted butter

chicken breasts

salt and pepper (to taste)

onion

red bell pepper (thinly

yellow bell pepper (thinly

garlic (minced)

penne pasta

(brick-style) cream cheese

spinach

In a large skillet or Dutch oven pot (you will need a lid to cover the pot later), heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat.

Once the butter is melted, add the chicken to the pan. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken, then add the onion and bell peppers to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until the chicken is lightly browned and the veggies start to soften, about 6 minutes.

Add the garlic and Cajun seasoning and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Pour in the chicken broth and water. Stir, and scrape up any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan.

Stir in the pasta and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to a medium simmer and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked to al dente, about 15-18 minutes. Almost all of the liquid should be absorbed by the pasta.

Once the pasta is cooked, uncover the pan and turn the heat down to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, cream cheese and chopped spinach. Stir until the cream cheese melts and then remove from the heat. Serve.

Today I prepared the Tuscan Chicken Pasta, it was heavenly delicious 😋, the only thing I was missing was a 🍷Here is the picture of the pasta with #torontodowntown in the background. Thank You Amy+Jacky

Amy + Jacky’s Tuscan Chicken Pasta with homegrown mushrooms! This is a must-try recipe. My husband’s first words were, “Mmm mmm!”

I made this last night, penne pasta is cooked right in the pot at the same time. It is really good!

Hello! 
I am a brand new InstaPot owner and I am so thrilled to be using your recipes to learn my new one-pot-wonder :-) LOVED this recipe. So easy and yummy! 
My only ask is that you please let me know what size InstaPot you use for these recipes so that I can determine if I can double the recipe or not. :-) 

I have the InstaPo 8qt Pro

Tonight I made Amy &amp; Jacky’s Tuscan Chicken Pasta and cut the recipe in half. I used cavatappi noodles because that’s what mom had in her pantry. It worked just as well as penne and makes it look prettier! This is a great dish to make for a hurt or sick friend or to share with a neighbor… it makes a lot!

Love this Tuscan Chicken Pasta: Used kale (ran out of spinach) to top before HP 4 mins NR 5 mins, then Sauté remaining ingredients. Yum! 😋

Delicious recipe. My little 3 quart IP can accommodate the quantity of the ingredients as listed (just barely 😁). Do you happen know how many cups are in a serving? Thanks.

I love this recipe and have made it quite a few times and usually do pot in pot rice with it. Or sometimes add mini potatoes. Found the pasta a bit over done so will play with the timing to get the right Al dente texture.

This recipe is a BANGER! I kinda personalized it a bit for my own taste (aka salty). I used the precooked rotisserie chicken from Costco so I didn't cook the chicken with the noodles. I did however sear the chicken the unsalted butter so I had a nice base to deglaze. I also added chopped onions and pancetta with the mushrooms and garlic for a quick Sauté. At the end while making the sauce I added a little extra chicken stock because I used Rotini which I cooked high pressure for 2 mins + 5 mins natural release so there wasn't much liquid left. I also added frozen peas (about a cup) at the end with the spinach and sun dried tomatoes. It's a great dish! The amount of cheese to add was right on!

Made Tuscan Chicken Pasta in the IP again :D

Found all ingredients in my fridge and came up with this A &amp;J’s recipe for the delicious Tuscan chicken and pasta! And made garlic cheese bread to go with this yummy dinner! ❤️

Turned out amazing! Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken, quick and easy process, a hearty meal! Thank you so much ❤️ your recipes are amazing! So easy to follow for an Insta Pot beginner 😊

Tonight we cooked Amy + Jacky's Tuscan Chicken Pasta in the Instant Pot. ❤️ So yummy, however a little dry so next time will use less parmesan and a tad more cream.

I made Amy and Jacky’s Tuscan pasta. I had leftover roast chicken and only fresh tomatoes so I started off with bacon and added the cooked chicken and tomatoes at the end of cooking. The cream was replaced with a small can of evaporated milk because I didn’t have cream. So yummy my kids loved it!

Last night I made the Tuscan Chicken Pasta (though I had to leave out the mushrooms). My family - including picky kids - loved it! I used boneless skinless breasts and it worked great. Really flavorful and easy to make!

Awesome recipe! I only used 3/4 lb of pasta &amp; added more spinach. I love your recipes  as they are so easy to follow &amp; soooo good!  I have recommended your website to many IP users who are vegans too! Thank you for sharing!
