Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Pasta

Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken Pasta

Thank you Jar of Lemons for the recipe!

Ingredients

  • 8 oz. whole wheat pasta

  • 1 medium shallot

  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil 

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • ½ cup milk

  • 2 tsp dijon mustard

  • 1 tsp dried oregano

  • Salt and pepper

  • 2 tsp minced garlic

  • 1 Tbsp flour

  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes

  • 1 + ½ cup spinach

  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

  • Crushed red pepper

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the directions. Drain and set it aside. 

  2. While the pasta is cooking, chop the shallot into small pieces and cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces. Cook the chicken in 1 tablespoon of oil and paprika for about 10 minutes and set it aside. 

  3. Mix the chicken broth, milk, dijon, oregano, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. 

  4. Cook the shallot and garlic in the remaining oil for about 3-5 minutes over medium-high heat. Add the flour and whisk for about 1 minute. Pour in the creamy pasta sauce and whisk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce begins to slightly thicken and reduce. Add the sun-dried tomatoes. 

  5. Remove the mixture from the heat and add in the spinach and parmesan cheese. Add the cooked chicken and pasta back into the pan. 

  6. Mix until everything is evenly warmed and top with crushed red pepper.
