Preparing Ingredients Like a Pro
- Gather all your ingredients for smooth preparation. Ensure the chicken is cut into bite-sized pieces, mince the garlic finely, and halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta and cook it according to package instructions while preparing the rest of the recipe.
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and season them with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
- Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for another 3–4 minutes until they soften and their juices are released.
- Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables.
- Drain the cooked pasta and toss it into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Mix well to coat with the juices and flavors.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top and give it a final stir before serving.

Notes
This versatile Tomato Spinach Chicken Pasta is excellent for meal prep, storing well in the fridge for up to three days or frozen for longer. For best results, avoid overcooking the chicken and pasta, and add spinach last to maintain its color. Serve with garlic bread or a crisp green salad.
