Marry Me Chicken Pasta

Ingredients

Ingredients

• 650 g boneless & skinless chicken breast (cut into bite-sized pieces)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves
• 170 g sun dried tomatoes (drained and very finely chopped)
• 1 tsp oregano
• 2 tsp paprika
• 250 g dried pasta (see notes)
• 650 ml chicken stock (bouillon cube) (see notes)
• 150 ml double cream (heavy cream (us/can) or (aus) thickened cream)
• 50 g parmesan (grated)
• 120 g spinach
• freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. In a large, deep frying pan, heat the oil over a medium heat. When it's hot, carefully add the chicken pieces and a good sprinkling of pepper. Cook for 5 minutes stirring occasionally until all sides are starting to colour.
2. Reduce the heat and add the garlic, sun dried tomatoes, oregano and paprika. Stir for 3-5 minutes until the garlic is softened.
3. Add the pasta and stock and give everything a good stir and put the lid on. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
4. Turn the heat to the lowest setting add the spinach and cream and stir very well for 1-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the cream is heated through. Check the chicken is cooked through and add more salt and pepper if needed.
5. Turn off the heat and stir in the parmesan.
