Tomato Spinach Chicken Spaghetti is the ultimate SUMMER PASTA! DAIRY-FREE.
Made with fresh tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, spinach, garlic, and olive oil.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped, drained of oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil drained from sun-dried tomatoes
- ½ lb chicken boneless and skinless (preferably, boneless skinless thighs), chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 roma tomatoes chopped
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves chopped
- 8 oz spinach fresh
- 3 garlic cloves chopped
- 8 oz spaghetti pasta
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (use high quality olive oil or oil from the sun-dried tomatoes jar)
Instructions
- Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of olive oil, drained from sun-dried tomatoes, to a large skillet, on medium-low heat.
- Add chopped chicken. I used boneless skinless chicken thighs and prefer to use them, but you can use chopped chicken breast, as well.
- Add red pepper flakes, and salt over all of the ingredients in the skillet.
- Cook on medium heat until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
- Add chopped tomatoes, chopped fresh basil leaves, fresh spinach, and chopped garlic to the skillet with chicken. Cook on medium heat for about 3- 5 minutes until spinach wilts just a little, and tomatoes release some of their juices.
- Remove from heat.
- Taste, and add more salt to taste, if needed. Cover with lid and keep off heat.
- Cook pasta according to package instructions, until al dente.
- Drain. Add cooked and drained pasta to the skillet with the chicken and vegetables.
- Reheat on low heat, mix everything well, add more seasonings (salt and pepper), if desired. Remove from heat.
- At this point, when the pasta and vegetables are off heat, you can add more high-quality olive oil. It’s optional but really tasty! Or you can add more olive oil from the jar from the sun-dried tomatoes..
