Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 lb Spaghetti cooked according to directions
  • 1 lb Chicken Breast Boneless Skinless
  • 1 cup Baby Portobello Mushrooms Sliced
  • 1 cup Spinach fresh chopped
  • 1/2 cup Sun Dried Tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup artichoke hearts chopped
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 3/4 cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp Butter Unsalted
  • 1 tsp oregano dried or fresh

Instructions
 

  • Clean and prepare chicken breast first by trimming any fat, pat dry with a paper towel, and then slice the chicken in half, lengthwise. You’ll turn 1 thick chicken breast into two thinly sliced breasts.
  • Season sliced chicken breasts on each side with salt and pepper.
  • Then, evenly space the chicken while on the cutting board and cover with plastic wrap.
  • Tenderize the meat with a meat pounder. This will not only tenderize the chicken, but also ensure all pieces are the same thickness and will cook evenly.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium high heat with 1 tablespoon of the sun dried tomato oil from the jar.
  • Carefully place chicken into the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, cooked through and no longer pink. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to low-medium heat and saute mushrooms in same pan until soft. Add more oil, if needed.
  • Slowly add in the heavy cream, butter, and Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until the butter and cheese melts. Bring to a simmer for 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Once combined, add garlic to the sauce in the skillet and cook until fragrant, stirring occasionally.
  • Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste along with the oregano.
  • Simmer for another 2 minutes, or until sauce starts to thicken. Add more grated Parmesan cheese if the sauce needs a little help to thicken!
  • Add the sliced sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach and the cooked chicken breast back into the pan and combine ingredients well. Stir until heated through.
  • Serve immediately over cooked pasta.
