Servings
Ingredients
- 8 oz pasta
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp oil from sun‑dried tomatoes
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup broth
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 cups spinach
- 1/3 cup sun‑dried tomatoes
- 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 3 cloves garlic
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
Instructions
- 1Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain and set aside.
- 2While the pasta cooks, coat the chicken breast with the sun‑dried tomato oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes on one side, then flip and cook another 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the interior reaches 165°F (165°F).
- 3Combine cottage cheese, broth, heavy cream, an additional splash of broth, and the garlic in a blender; blend 3–5 minutes until smooth and the cottage cheese is no longer chunky.
- 4Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, lower the heat to low, and pour in the blended sauce. Stir in the shredded parmesan cheese and sun‑dried tomatoes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- 5Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly. Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1–2 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh basil or extra parmesan before serving.
