Categories     Pasta | Rice | Barley

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

250 g (8.8 oz) spaghetti
2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
100 g (3.5 oz) spinach
2-3 tbsp lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp each: salt, black pepper, sweet paprika, red pepper flakes
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp capers
250 ml (1 cup) cream 20 % fat
50 ml (1/4 cup) dry white wine
60 g (2.1 oz) grated Parmesan
basil leaves
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp salt + black pepper

Steps:

  • First make the breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a non-stick skillet. Then add panko. Cook over medium-high heat, while tossing frequently, until crunchy and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer the breadcrumbs onto a plate.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
  • Heat oil and butter in the same skillet, add chicken. Fry until golden on each side and cooked through, about 5 minutes, depending on the thickness of your chicken. Transfer onto a plate.
  • Lower the heat, add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Deglaze with white wine, stir with a wooden spoon to dissolve the browned bits from the bottom. Add spinach, stir until slightly wilted. Stir in capers and lemon juice.
  • Pour in 1/4 cup cooking water and cream, bring to a boil. Toss with spaghetti, then gradually stir in the Parmesan until it melts into the sauce.
  • Slide chicken back into the skillet and stir, simmer for 1 minute. Finish off with basil leaves. Taste and adjust salt and pepper. If needed, add more pasta water to thin the sauce.
  • Serve immediately. Top with breadcrumbs, extra black pepper and red chili flakes, if desired. Enjoy!
