One Pot Chicken Florentine Pasta + 23 Amazing Pasta Recipes!
This one pot chicken florentine pasta is so quick and easy to make, and so delicious!

Today is national pasta day! Let’s take a moment and remember all of the things pasta has given us… thicker thighs, rounder tummies, non-bikini bodies, and many a delicious dinner! With the weather getting colder, it’s all I can do to not make a big pot of pasta every night. It’s hearty and filling, and the whole family loves it! This one pot chicken florentine pasta has so many things going for it: it’s savory and delicious, with chunks of juicy chicken and noodles cooked to tender perfection, and (best of all) there’s only one pot to clean! My husband and kids loved it (although my little Lizzy was adamant about picking out every last piece of “salad” out of it) and it was a great meal for a cold night. As I’ve said many times before, I really can’t bring myself to spend more than about 30 minutes cooking dinner, so this dish was perfect!

Print Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast cut into pieces
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons sun dried tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup half and half
- 8 ounces linguine broken in half
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups fresh baby spinach
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and chicken, and cook the chicken until golden brown and cooked through. Add the olive oil, garlic, and sun dried tomatoes, and cook until fragrant. Add the flour and cook 2-3 minutes. Slowly add the chicken broth and half and half, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Add the linguine and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer 10-15 minutes, or until the linguine is tender. Remove from heat and stir in the parmesan and baby spinach, until the spinach is wilted. Sprinkle with more parmesan cheese, if desired.

This looks absolutely scrumptious! I have a kid that used to pick out the "salad" as well. He did eventually grow out of it though. Thank goodness.
Drool!
This recipe was easy to make. It is tasty and delicious. I just added a little pepper and salt to it even though the recipe does not call for it. Next time I make it, I will add mushrooms to it. Leftovers freeze well.
