Garlic Parmesan Chicken With Spinach is a creamy, comforting dish that brings together tender chicken, rich cheeses, and vibrant spinach in a delightful one-pot meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 12 oz rigatoni pasta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups baby spinach
  • 1½ cups heavy cream
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed
  • 1¼ cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup reserved pasta water (as needed)
  • Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Boil pasta in generously salted water until al dente. Reserve ¼ cup of the pasta water, then drain and set aside.
  2. Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a large skillet, heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Cook chicken until golden brown and fully cooked (about 6–7 minutes). Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add remaining butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Toss in spinach and cook until just wilted.
  4. Pour in heavy cream and stir in cream cheese until smooth. Add Parmesan and mozzarella while stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Adjust with reserved pasta water as needed for consistency.
  5. Add cooked rigatoni and chicken into the sauce. Stir until everything is well-coated in the creamy mixture.
  6. Plate it up, sprinkle with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan on top, then serve hot! Enjoy your delicious Garlic Parmesan Chicken With Spinach!
