Spinach Artichoke Dip Pasta With Chicken Recipes

SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP PASTA WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions until al dente.
• Drain the pasta, return it to the pot then add the sour cream and stir to combine. Stir in the artichoke hearts, chicken and sun-dried tomatoes then set the pasta aside.
• Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted and most of the liquid has cooked off, about 10 minutes. Stir in the flour then add the milk, garlic powder, pepper and cream cheese, stirring to combine. Continue cooking the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan and Cheddar.
• Pour the cheese sauce over the pasta mixture, stirring until well combined then serve.

SPINACH ARTICHOKE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat the butter and olive oil together in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook until nicely browned and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate.
• Add the onion and garlic to the skillet and stir until slightly softened, about 30 seconds, then add the artichokes and cook, stirring, until the artichokes are hot and the onions are translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the wine and stir, then add the cream and more black pepper, if desired, then stir again. Let the sauce come to a simmer, then add the Parmesan and cook for a minute to thicken.
• Add the pimientos, spinach and lemon juice, then stir until the spinach has wilted, for a minute or so. Nestle the chicken back into the skillet, spooning a little sauce over the top. Garnish with torn basil leaves and serve with warm bread.

SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP PASTA

Steps:

• In a large pot, bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the rigatoni and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the cream cheese, milk, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder and red pepper flakes to a 12-inch high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Cook until a thick sauce forms, 5 to 6 minutes.
• When ready, drain the pasta and add it directly to the saute pan along with the artichokes, spinach and white wine. Season with salt and pepper, stir, and continue cooking until all the ingredients are hot, 1 to 2 minutes more. Stir in the Parmesan, then transfer to a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley.
