Chicken Alfredo Pasta With Sun Dried Tomatoes And Spinach Food

CHICKEN ALFREDO PASTA WITH SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND SPINACH

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
• While pasta is cooking, dice the chicken breasts, place them in a re-sealable bag together with the oil, one teaspoon of garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Shake the bag well to coat the chicken, add the oil to a pan, then cook the chicken on high heat until tender and brown, that should take about 5 minutes.
• Chop the sun-dried tomatoes and add them to the pan together with the spinach and cook for a further 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• To make the alfrefo sauce, melt the butter in a pan, add the heavy cream and garlic powder and stir well for about 5 minutes until the sauce starts to thicken.
• Grate the parmesan and add it to the sauce, leaving some to top the pasta when ready. Stir in the minced garlic.
• When the pasta is cooked, drain the water and add the pasta to the sauce together with the chicken, sun-dried tomatoes and spinach.
• Remove from the heat, transfer to a plate and grate some more parmesan on top.
• Serve immediately!

SUN-DRIED TOMATO CHICKEN ALFREDO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and desired crispness is reached, 6 to 10 minutes. Drain bacon on paper towels.
• Add chopped chicken thighs, garlic salt, and cantanzaro herbs to skillet and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken to a plate.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat until a pinch of flour sprinkled into the oil just begins to bubble. Whisk in flour to form a thick paste the consistency of cake frosting. Slowly add in milk, stirring constantly. Allow mixture to thicken, while stirring. Mix in fontina cheese, Parmesan, provolone, and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir to combine. Add drained pasta to sauce and mix well. Stir in cooked chicken and bacon.
