4
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken.
  • Cook, flipping occasionally, until golden-brown and cooked through, 8-10 min.**
  • Meanwhile, combine cream, 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) reserved pasta water and broth concentrate in a small bowl.

 

Make sauce
5
  • Add garlic, thyme, Cream Sauce Spice Blend and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter to the same pan.
  • Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1-2 min.
  • Stir in cream-broth mixture. Bring to a boil over medium-high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens, 1-2 min.
Finish and serve
6
  • Add chicken and sauce, spinach and half the Parmesan to the pot with penne. 
  • Toss until spinach wilts and penne is coated. (TIP: For a lighter sauce consistency, add additional reserved pasta water, 1-2 tbsp at a time, if desired.)
  • Divide pasta between plates. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over top.
