Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Chicken:

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Garlic Potatoes:
  • 1 lb baby potatoes, halved
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp oregano
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish
  • For the Creamy Spinach Pasta:
  • 8 oz penne pasta
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread on baking sheet and roast for 25–30 minutes until crispy and golden.
  2. Meanwhile, season chicken breasts with paprika, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a grill pan or skillet, cook chicken 5–6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Let rest, then slice.
  3. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  4. In a skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Pour in cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using. Simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
  5. Toss cooked pasta into the creamy spinach sauce. Serve with sliced grilled chicken on top and roasted garlic potatoes on the side. Garnish with chopped parsley.

Notes

  • Serve with a fresh green salad or steamed veggies
  • Add chili flakes or lemon zest for a flavor boost
  • Drizzle with a spoon of garlic yogurt for extra richness
  • Pound chicken evenly for uniform cooking
  • Use baby spinach for a softer texture in sauce
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully in a skillet with a splash of milk
