Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs baby potatoes or Yukon Golds, halved
- 2 tbsp olive oil (for potatoes)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for potatoes)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for chicken)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup frozen or canned artichoke hearts, chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 oz cream cheese (optional)
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for sauce)
- 12 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss halved potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and Parmesan. Arrange cut-side down and roast 25–30 minutes. Broil for 2–3 minutes for crispiness, then garnish with parsley.
- Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sear in a skillet with olive oil or butter until golden and cooked through. Remove and rest before slicing.
- In the same skillet, sauté garlic, then add artichokes and spinach. Cook until wilted.
- Add cream and cream cheese, stirring until smooth. Mix in Parmesan cheese to finish the sauce.
- Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss to coat. Return sliced chicken to the skillet and warm everything together.
- Serve pasta with crispy potatoes on the side.
Notes
- Use sun-dried tomatoes or mushrooms instead of artichokes for variety.
- Substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter option.
- Use rotisserie chicken for convenience.
- Serve over zucchini noodles for a low-carb version.
- Reheat potatoes in the oven or air fryer for best texture.
