Serves: 1Prep: 10 minCook: 20 min

Ingredients

  • 60 g dry pasta
  • 125 g chicken breast, diced
  • 40 g sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 small onion, finely diced
  • 40 ml single cream
  • 1 packed handful spinach (about 30 g)
  • 10 g parmesan, grated
  • 1 tsp garlic seasoning
  • 1 tsp chicken seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp onion salt
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for 8-10 minutes until al dente, then drain and reserve 2 tablespoons of pasta water.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then cook the diced chicken with chicken seasoning, garlic seasoning, and black pepper for 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through.
  3. Add the onion and sun-dried tomatoes, then sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion softens and the tomatoes become fragrant.
  4. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 30 seconds, then pour in the cream and 2-3 tablespoons of water or reserved pasta water; simmer for 1-2 minutes until lightly thickened.
  5. Stir in the spinach and parmesan, then cook for 1 minute until the spinach wilts and the sauce turns glossy.
  6. Add the drained pasta and toss for 1-2 minutes until fully coated, adding a splash more pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
  7. Taste and finish with onion salt and parsley, then serve hot.
