Ingredients

  • 1½ lb thin chicken cutlets, cut into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ⅛ tsp sweet paprika
  • ¼ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil
  • 3 shallots, thinly sliced
  • Approximately 6 oz frozen spinach
  • 1½ Tbsp flour
  • Approximately ¾ cup water
  • ¼ tsp chili crisp (optional)
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
  • ⅓ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, drained
  • ¾ Tbsp tomato paste
  • 12 oz pasta of choice

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and sauté until crispy.
  2. Add the frozen spinach, mix well, and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the chicken cubes, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, sugar, salt, pepper, and tomato paste. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain.
  4. Whisk the flour into the ¾ cup water with the chili crisp. Pour into the skillet along with the chicken broth. Reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Add the cooked pasta and sun-dried tomatoes. Continue cooking over low heat for 3–5 minutes, stirring gently, until the sauce is silky and coats every noodle.
  6. Serve hot and enjoy! 🤍
