Everything is made in one pan, so you can feel free to relax and enjoy your evening instead of spending it scrubbing dishes.\nWith beautiful, juicy tomatoes and a generous topping of freshly grated Parmesan, there is so much to love with this pasta. The creamy tomato sauce ties everything together perfectly. It's rich, silky, and full of flavor. It's actually quite balanced, too- we've got lots of protein from our boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and some spinach thrown in for color.

Once butter is melted, add chicken breast and cook for about 7 minutes until the insides are no longer pink in color.

Then you can customize it to your requirements.\nMake it dairy-free:\nUse dairy free butter and cream (Becel has amazing options for both) and nutritional yeast instead of the Parmesan cheese!\nMake it vegetarian:\nLeave out the chicken and just make a creamy tomato pasta!\nMissing an ingredient? Try these:\nButter:\nCan be subbed with olive oil\nPasta:\nUse any pasta you have on hand- this would also be great with oil (or even chickpea or lentil pasta for additional protein) \nTomato sauce\n: Not a substitute, but look for a lower sugar and salt option- my favorite is the Victoria one from Costco!\nSpinach:\nCurly green kale leaves is a great substitution! Try mixing in steamed broccoli for additional vegetables if desired!\nEquipment\nCutting board\nSaucepan\nStorage\nStore in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.\nTop Tip\nMake sure you are using a large enough pan- once everything is added together, it will get very full!\nFrequently Asked Questions\nIs this a healthy pasta?\nI am a firm believer that all foods can fit in a healthy lifestyle! This pasta is slightly more heavy than some of the other recipes on my blog but that doesn't mean it isn't healthy! It's full of protein, has some fresh vegetables added and pasta is a great source of carbohydrates (you can even use whole wheat pasta for additional fiber).\nWhat can I serve this with?\nIf you're looking for a great side dish to increase the vegetable content I recommend my\nkale salad\n!\nMore Favourite Pasta Recipes\nCreamy Vegan Red Pepper Pasta Sauce (without nuts)\nOne Pan Creamy Lemon Chicken Pasta\nHidden Veggie Mac and Cheese\n10 Minute Easy Tofu Alfredo\nPS.

Make it vegetarian: Leave out the chicken and just make a creamy tomato pasta\! Missing an ingredient? Try these: - Butter: Can be subbed with olive oil - Pasta: Use any pasta you have on hand- this would also be great with oil (or even chickpea or lentil pasta for additional protein) - Tomato sauce: Not a substitute, but look for a lower sugar and salt option- my favorite is the Victoria one from Costco\! - Spinach: Curly green kale leaves is a great substitution! Try mixing in steamed broccoli for additional vegetables if desired\! ### Equipment - [Cutting board](https://amzn.to/3QGjvwx) - [Saucepan](https://www.amazon.ca/CHEF-Multipurpose-Restaurant-Heat-Proof-Dishwasher/dp/B07QJW838V?crid=84873MVH9WNF&keywords=sauce%2Bpan&qid=1673884111&s=kitchen&sprefix=sauce%2Bpa,kitchen,168&sr=1-4&th=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=nourishedbyni-20&linkId=405534f230e0ae3ce2e5d3296f87cb32&language=en_CA&ref_=as_li_ss_tl) ### Storage Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. ### Top Tip Make sure you are using a large enough pan- once everything is added together, it will get very full\! ### Frequently Asked Questions **Is this a healthy pasta? I am a firm believer that all foods can fit in a healthy lifestyle! This pasta is slightly more heavy than some of the other recipes on my blog but that doesn't mean it isn't healthy! It's full of protein, has some fresh vegetables added and pasta is a great source of carbohydrates (you can even use whole wheat pasta for additional fiber). What can I serve this with?

Readable Markdown	Made in one pan in only 30 minutes! This creamy chicken and tomato pasta is the comforting, satisfying and balanced meal you need this winter. ![Creamy chicken and tomato pasta being stirred in a pan.](https://nourishedbynic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/pan-of-creamy-chicken-and-tomato-pasta.jpg) Nothing is cozier than winding down with a steaming bowl of pasta. If you couldn't already tell that I'm obsessed with [creamy, one pan pasta recipes](https://nourishedbynic.com/creamy-lemon-chicken-pasta/), like my [vegan red pepper pasta](https://nourishedbynic.com/creamy-vegan-red-pepper-pasta-sauce/) or my [sausage pasta bake](https://nourishedbynic.com/comforting-sausage-spinach-pasta-bake/)... hopefully you've gotten the hint. This creamy tomato chicken pasta recipe has been my recent go-to because of how simple, yet delicious it is. Everything is made in one pan, so you can feel free to relax and enjoy your evening instead of spending it scrubbing dishes. With beautiful, juicy tomatoes and a generous topping of freshly grated Parmesan, there is so much to love with this pasta. The creamy tomato sauce ties everything together perfectly. It's rich, silky, and full of flavor. It's actually quite balanced, too- we've got lots of protein from our boneless, skinless chicken breasts, and some spinach thrown in for color. This is a recipe that will definitely be a winner for Valentine's Day dinner. ### Creamy Chicken And Tomato Pasta Recipe #### Ingredients ![Ingredients for pasta, including chicken, veggies, and cream.](https://nourishedbynic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/ingredients-for-creamy-chicken-and-tomato-pasta.jpg) - Penne pasta - Chicken breast - Salt and pepper - Flour - Butter - Garlic - Cherry tomatoes - Italian seasoning - Heavy cream - Chicken broth - Tomato sauce - Spinach - Parmesan - Fresh basil #### Instructions ![Sauteeing chicken in a pan.](https://nourishedbynic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/sauteeing-chicken.jpg) Cook pasta according to package instructions.

Then you can customize it to your requirements. Make it dairy-free: Use dairy free butter and cream (Becel has amazing options for both) and nutritional yeast instead of the Parmesan cheese\! Make it vegetarian: Leave out the chicken and just make a creamy tomato pasta\! Missing an ingredient? Try these: - Butter: Can be subbed with olive oil - Pasta: Use any pasta you have on hand- this would also be great with oil (or even chickpea or lentil pasta for additional protein) - Tomato sauce: Not a substitute, but look for a lower sugar and salt option- my favorite is the Victoria one from Costco\! - Spinach: Curly green kale leaves is a great substitution!
