Instructions
- Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
- Peel, then cut half the onion (whole onion for 4 ppl) into 1/4-inch slices.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Roughly chop spinach.
- Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with half the Italian Seasoning, half the garlic salt and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then chicken.
- Cook until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in 2 batches if needed.)
- Transfer to an unlined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 12-14 min.**
- Meanwhile, add linguine to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min.
- Reserve 1/2 cup (1 cup) pasta water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, reheat the same pan (from step 2) over medium.
- When the pan is hot, add 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter, then onions and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until onions soften, 3-4 min.
- Add spinach, tomato and remaining Italian Seasoning and remaining garlic salt.
- Cook, stirring often, until spinach wilts, 1-2 min.
- Add cream, Cream Sauce Spice Blend, sour cream and reserved pasta water to the pan with veggies.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add linguine to the pan with sauce. Cook, stirring often, until coated, 1 min.
- Divide linguine between plates, then top with chicken.
- Sprinkle Parmesan over top.
If you've opted to get chicken thighs, prepare, cook and plate them in the same way the recipe instructs you to prepare and cook the chicken breasts.
