How to Make Arugula Chicken With Pasta
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in halved tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until slightly softened.
- Add cooked pasta to the skillet. Stir in arugula, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine. Add reserved pasta water if needed to create a light sauce.
- Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
