Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Tuscan Chicken Pasta with Creamy Sauce.
Step 1
Begin by warming olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium-low heat.
Step 2
Generously season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides, then place them in the skillet.
Step 3
Sear the chicken for 8 to 10 minutes on each side until they achieve a beautiful golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Step 4
Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest.
Step 5
Lower the heat and introduce chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing them for about 5 minutes until they soften and release their fragrant aroma.
Step 6
Next, pour in white wine, using a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan by scraping up any flavorful browned bits.
Step 7
Allow the wine to simmer and reduce until nearly evaporated, which should take around 3 to 5 minutes.
Step 8
Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and let them mingle for an additional minute before adding chicken broth and Italian seasoning.
Step 9
Bring this delightful mixture to a gentle simmer and let it reduce slightly for about 5 minutes.
Step 10
Add fresh spinach to the skillet, cooking just until it wilts, which should take 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 11
Lower the heat and blend in Asiago cheese and heavy cream until the sauce is creamy and well combined.
Step 12
Squeeze in fresh lemon juice and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper to your liking.
Step 13
Return the chicken thighs to the skillet, allowing them to warm through for 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 14
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil and cook mini farfalle pasta according to package instructions until al dente, which typically takes 7 to 8 minutes.
Step 15
Drain the pasta and prepare to serve.
Step 16
In four bowls, layer the pasta and generously top each with the succulent chicken and creamy sauce, creating a dish that’s not just a meal but a comforting experience.
Step 17
Enjoy every bite of this flavorful creation!.
