I made this Creamy Chicken pasta sauce using butter, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese.
While the bacon and chicken are great together, I simply like to add garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to make the sauce taste even better! You can also play with using dried oregano, thyme and/or rosemary instead.
Cream. Would like to lighten up this recipe? No problem – simply use half and half instead of heavy cream. While you can substitute heavy cream with half and half, don not substitute with milk, since we do need some fat content of cream so that the sauce is not runny.
Spinach is one of the healthy elements of this tasty chicken pasta dish. Besides, it’s one of my favorite ways to eat it. With pasta in the creamy sauce. Even though I always use fresh spinach in my recipes, I also like the idea of frozen spinach. Because compact frozen spinach may be easier to handle than fresh spinach leaves that cook down significantly.
How to cook creamy chicken pasta
First, we will cook bacon, until crispy. Once done, remove bacon onto a separate plate and also drain the bacon fat from the skillet. I always wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel.
Next, let’s cook the chicken breasts in the same pan by browning them on each side. When done, remove chicken and slice it in thick strips. You can keep chicken on the same plate with bacon.
Next, it’s time to make the delicious creamy sauce. This is my favorite part!
