Tuscan Chicken Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Boil 1 1/2 quart water. Drop in the penne pasta and stir until it is al dente (about 9 to 11 minutes).
• While the pasta cooks, sear the chicken in a skillet on medium-high (about 4-5 minutes per side). Season each side with a pinch of salt and pepper as the other side cooks.
• Reduce skillet heat to medium. Add the spinach, beans, oil, garlic, rosemary, and bell peppers. Turn frequently until the spinach wilts (about 1-2 minutes).
• Slice the chicken and toss it with drained pasta and the spinach-bean mixture.
• Top each serving with 1 tbsp parmesan cheese.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package directions; drain.
• Meanwhile, put the bacon in a large, cold skillet, then cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 8 minutes; transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
• Sprinkle the chicken lightly with salt and pepper and add to the skillet in a single layer. Let cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the underside, 2 to 3 minutes. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 4 minutes more. Transfer to the plate with the bacon.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes and cream and bring to a simmer, then add the spinach and stir until just wilted. Add the bacon, chicken, fettuccine and Parmesan and toss with tongs until well coated; season to taste with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with basil and serve.

Steps:

• Heat reserved oil in Dutch oven or large deep skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 6 to 7 min. on each side or until done (165°F). Remove chicken from pan, reserving drippings in pan. Cover chicken to keep warm.
• Stir garlic into reserved drippings; cook and stir 1 min. or until fragrant. Add milk and bouillon cubes; stir. Bring just to simmer over low heat, stirring constantly.
• Add pasta; stir. Simmer, stirring frequently, over medium-low heat 14 to 15 min. or until pasta is cooked to desired doneness. Add remaining ingredients; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until cream cheese spread is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Remove from heat.
• Slice chicken. Serve over pasta mixture.

Steps:

• Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-low heat.
• Place the chicken thighs skin side down in the skillet and cook for about 13 minutes to crisp up the skin. Move the chicken around from time to time to ensure it cooks evenly. The skin should be hard to the touch.
• Flip the chicken, then cook for about another 15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from pan.
• Add the garlic and onion, stirring until onions are translucent. Stir in the tomatoes and spinach until the spinach is wilted.
• Add the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, bringing to a boil.
• Add the Parmesan cheese and parsley, stirring until the sauce has thickened slightly.
• Place the chicken back in the pan, spooning the sauce on top of the chicken.
• Enjoy!
