Hello friends! Today, I’m bringing you another delicious pasta dish! If you’ve been following along here for any time, you’ll know my love for pasta. Just the other week, I shared a new recipe for a Sun Dried Tomato Tagliatelle dish that was amazing. This dish is equally as delicious and a little more decadent. Take a look to see if you’d like to add it to your dinner rotation this week.

What is This Pasta Dish Like

• Difficulty – Although this dish is pretty straightforward to make and all in one dish, there is quite a bit of prep work and 17 ingredients in total. Make sure to have at least an hour and a half on your side before making this dish.
• Taste – This is the ultimate creamy pasta dish with fresh and subtle flavours.
• Serving – This dish makes 6 – 8 servings. It really depends on how much each person likes to have. We are a family of four and generally there are several servings each.

Ingredients

• Chicken – I used chicken breasts cut into small strips.
• Dairy – Butter, cream and parmesan cheese.
• Fresh – Onion, tomatoes, garlic and parsley.
• Dried goods– Spaghetti and flour.
• Seasonings – Olive oil, chicken broth, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and black pepper.

REMEMBER, The full recipe and instructions is always found at the end of the post in the recipe card.

Instructions

1. Season chicken – Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
2. Brown chicken in batches – In a large deep sided skillet set over high heat, add half of the butter until it sizzles, about one minute. Add the chicken (in batches if you have to, as you don’t want to crowd the pan). Cook for about 4 – 5 minutes or until browned. You aren’t looking to cook it all the way. Remove from pan and set aside.
3. Cook onions, tomatoes and herbs – In the same skillet, add the olive oil and onions. Stir well and let cook for 4 – 5 minutes. Add 1/2 of the diced tomatoes and stir well for about 1 – 2 minutes. Add the crushed garlic and all the dried spices. Stir well and let cook for about another minute. Add the flour and stir really well.
4. Make sauce – Add the chicken broth and cooking cream to the pan. Whisk really well to prevent any lumps. Bring to a simmer and let thicken for 1- 2 minutes.
5. Add chicken and uncooked pasta – Add the chicken to the pan along with the uncooked pasta and stir really well to completely coat. Cover and leave to cook for about 15 minutes. Stir a few times through cooking to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
6. Finish dish – Reduce heat to low and add the Parmesan cheese, remaining tomatoes and fresh parsley. Stir well and garnish with extra parmesan if desired.

Recipe Notes

• The first thing you do in this recipe is cook the chicken.  Make sure your pan is really hot before you add the chicken.  You are looking to sear and brown the chicken.  To do this, you need high heat.  Also, you will need to cook the chicken in batches.  I did mine in two batches.  Otherwise the pan will be overcrowded and the chicken won’t brown. 
• The tomatoes are divided.  As in, half are cooked at the beginning and the other half are added at the end.  The cooked tomatoes add a huge amount of flavour to the sauce and dish while cooking.  Whereas the fresh ones added at the end, add just that, freshness.
• If you feel you need more liquid, add it!  Don’t be shy.  The original recipe I found online said two cups of chicken stock.  Well, I added three cups because I felt the dish just needed it.

Substitutions

• Spaghetti – You can use tagliatelle, linguine, pappardelle or fettuccine.
• Heavy cream – You can make this dish a little lighter by using half and half or even milk. Just keep in mind the consistency will change a little. If you want a lighter dish, you might like the Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti!
• Chicken broth – You can use vegetable broth.

---

Serving

• Salads – A fresh salad to go on the side of this would work really well. Why not take a look at the Mediterranean Tossed Salad or the Classic Caprice Salad.
• Breads – Of course you can serve with pasta! Garlic Knots are one of our family favourites and even the Rustic Loaf would be great.
