A creamy, comforting pasta dish featuring tender chicken, sautéed mushrooms, and fresh spinach, ready in about 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 8 ounces mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 to 1.5 cups creamy pasta sauce (jarred Alfredo or homemade)
  • 8 ounces pasta (penne, fettuccine, or rigatoni)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Parmesan cheese for topping

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
  2. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  3. Add chicken pieces to the skillet and cook until no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Push the chicken to the side and add sliced mushrooms. Cook until tender, about 4–5 minutes.
  5. Add fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1–2 minutes.
  6. Pour in the creamy pasta sauce and stir to combine. If thick, loosen with reserved pasta water.
  7. Add drained pasta and toss to coat. Warm everything together for another 1–2 minutes.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve immediately with grated Parmesan on top.
