Ingredients

Scale

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cups chicken broth

1 1/2 cups heavy cream

12 oz pasta (penne or rotini recommended)

2 cups fresh spinach or kale, chopped

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot over medium heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then sear until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same pot, cook garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add cherry tomatoes and let them blister slightly.
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, scraping up browned bits from the pot. Bring to a simmer.
Stir in pasta. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until pasta is tender and sauce thickens.
Add chicken back in along with spinach or kale. Stir in Parmesan until well combined. Adjust seasoning if needed.
