How to Make Spinach Fettuccine With Chicken And Broccoli

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound broccoli florets and cook for 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl.
  2. Add 1 pound fettuccine to the boiling water and cook according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  3. While pasta cooks, heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast (cubed into bite-sized pieces), 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Saute until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  4. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil to the skillet. Add 1 medium onion (chopped) and 2 cloves garlic (minced). Saute until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Stir in the cooked broccoli and 1 cup of fresh spinach. Cook, stirring frequently, until spinach wilts and broccoli is tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked fettuccine and chicken back to the skillet. Toss to combine.
  8. Stir in 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch of black pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil. Serve immediately.
