Step by step “Marry me chicken Pasta”

Ingredients:

Chicken tenderloin or chicken breast *i used tenderloin**

Heavy Whipping cream ( or half and half)

Fresh Spinach

Bow tie Pasta

2 Bell peppers ( orange and yellow used in recipe)

Half of a yellow onion

Shredded Parmesan *i usually shred my own but this was a quick meal*

Tomato Paste

Seasonings:

Garlic Powder

Onion Powder

Slap ya mama cajun seasoning (or any cajun seasoning)

Paprika

Step 1: Wash and pat dry your chicken of choice, cut into cubes

Step 2: Drizzle avocado oil/ olive oil then season to your desire **see above**

Step 3: Get your bell peppers and onion, dice to your liking

Step 4: Begin to boil your water for pasta. I added avocado oil and a sprinkle of salt to my water for taste and to prevent the pasta from sticking together.

Step 5: Heat a medium pan with oil of choice and add in seasoned chicken, cook for about 7-9 minutes on medium heat

Step 6: After chicken is fully cooked, use the same pan to sauté your peppers and onion, after soft add 1 tsp of tomato paste and mix until veggies are red

Step 6: Add in 1 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream and mix until it starts to thicken, then add 6 oz ( 1 1/2 cups) of shredded parmesan

Step 7: Using the same seasoning used for the chicken, use to season your alfredo sauce

Step 8: Gradually add in your fresh spinach, giving it time to wilt in the sauce.. i only ended up using about a cup of spinach.

Step 9: After spinach is fully incorporated into the sauce mixture, add your cooked chicken and mix everything together.

Step 10: By this time your pasta should be cooked and drained; add cooked pasta to your pan and mix everything together.
