Instructions
Chicken
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels. Then, combine the paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Coat the chicken thoroughly.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sear the chicken on both sides in sun dried tomato oil for about 3 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and cook the chicken for 6 to 10 minutes, flipping every 3 minutes, until the internal tempertaure reaches 165 degrees.
- Remove the chicken, cool it for 5 minutes, and dice it into small cubs.
Soup
- Boil the pasta to al dente while making the soup. Then, drain the pasta and set aside until ready to mix into the soup.
- Melt the butter in the same pan you used for the chicken. Then, cook the onions and garlic in it for about 3 minuts or until the onions are slighlty translucent.
- Add the sun dried tomatoes, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, sweet smoked papirka, salt, and basil. Mix well.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Then, add the heavy cream, parmesan, and spinach. Cook, stirring constantly for about 10 minutes until thickened.
- Gently stir in the chicken and pasta. Serve topped with more paremsan and fresh basil.

Notes
Tips
- Pat the chicken dry before adding the seasonings to ensure they stick to the breasts.
- Flip your chicken breasts every few minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Boil your pasta to al dente. Overcooked pasta will break apart when stirred into the soup.
- To make this a one-pan meal, add the uncooked pasta to the broth and cook until the pasta is al dente.
- I like using baby spinach. It wilts beautifully, and you don't have to tear it before adding it to the soup.
