Ingredients
  

  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 pound linguine pasta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp butter divided
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup yellow onion chopped
  • 1 piece red bell pepper seeded and chopped
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms (cremini or button)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes optional
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • q.s. salt to taste
  • q.s. pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained, chopped)
  • 2 cups fresh baby spinach
  • q.s. lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Chef’s knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

  1. In a bowl, toss the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp of olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the remaining 1 tbsp of olive oil and 2 tbsp of butter to the skillet. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic, red bell pepper, and mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Stir in the linguine, chicken broth, and red pepper flakes if using. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the pasta is tender and the liquid is mostly absorbed, about 12-15 minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and stir to combine. Heat through.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired.
