Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Meanwhile, cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces. change to: Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/4-inch slices (whole onion for 4 ppl).Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Roughly chop spinach.
Pat chicken dry with paper towels. Season with half the Italian Seasoning, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper (dbl both for 4 ppl). Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then chicken. Cook until golden-brown, 1-2 min per side. (NOTE: Don't overcrowd the pan; cook chicken in 2 batches if needed.) Transfer chicken to an unlined baking sheet. Bake in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 5-6 min.**
Meanwhile, add linguine to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain.
Meanwhile, heat the same pan (from step 2) over medium. When hot, add 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until onions soften, 3-4 min. Add spinach and remaining Italian Seasoning. Cook, stirring often, until spinach wilts, 1-2 min.
Add cream, Cream Sauce Spice Blend, sour cream and reserved pasta water to the pan with veggies. Cook, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens slightly, 1-2 min. Season with salt and pepper. Add linguine to the pan with sauce. Cook, stirring often, until linguine is coated, 1 min.
Divide linguine between plates, then top with chicken. Sprinkle Parmesan over top.

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour: The creamy sauce and garlic notes are crowd-pleasers, though some reviewers found the overall dish a little bland and suggest adding extra garlic, Parmesan, or a splash of chicken stock to boost depth.
- Ease of prep: Most reviewers found this quick and straightforward to pull together, though a few noted the timing of simultaneous steps can feel rushed for less experienced cooks.
- Suggestions: Several reviewers recommend using only half the Italian seasoning to avoid it overpowering the dish; others suggest swapping sour cream for cream cheese, adding mushrooms, bell peppers, or bacon, and dicing the onion finely for better texture. Consider finishing the chicken entirely in the pan rather than transferring to the oven, as multiple reviewers found this kept it juicier and reduced dishes. If the sauce thickens too quickly, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it.
- Leftovers: This dish reheats well the next day, though the pasta can dry out; storing with a little extra sauce helps keep it from becoming too thick.
