Instructions
Creating Spinach Artichoke Greek Chicken Alfredo is a simple process if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the pasta cooks, season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and oregano.
3. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and allow to rest before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
4. Sauté Garlic and Spinach: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
5. Add Artichokes and Cream: Stir in the chopped artichoke hearts and heavy cream, mixing until the ingredients are combined.
6. Incorporate Cheese: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the sauce is creamy and well blended.
7. Combine Pasta: Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing gently to coat all the noodles in the sauce.
8. Add Chicken: Finally, add the sliced chicken and toss to combine everything thoroughly.
9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste the dish and add additional salt or pepper if desired.
10. Serve Immediately: Remove from heat and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
