Ingredients

Olive oil – a kitchen staple that provides deep flavor and healthy fats to this dish Green onion – a fresh aromatic that adds a subtle onion flavor to this Chicken Artichoke Pasta Garlic – add bold and savory flavor to the chicken and sauce Boneless skinless chicken breast – tender, lean, and protein packed! Salt – just a pinch of salt elevates every other flavor in the dish Crushed red pepper flakes – omit if you aren’t a fan of spice Water – helps to break down any bits that have browned to the pan. You can also use chicken broth. Artichoke hearts – artichokes have a tangy, earthy flavor that bring this pasta dish to the next level Heavy cream – the secret to luxurious, velvety sauce Butter – for a little extra flavor and smooth texture Penne pasta – you can use any pasta shape you like but we love how the sauce clings to the outside and fills the inside of penne Parmesan cheese – try to use fresh grated and grate it on the smallest side of a box grater

Substitutions/Adjustments to Try

We used chicken in this recipe, but it would also go really well with shrimp if your family likes seafood. Just add 1 pound of uncooked, deveined shrimp instead of the chicken. If you are looking for a vegetarian version of Chicken Artichoke Pasta, then replace the chicken with mushrooms. You can also use whole-wheat or gluten free noodles. Add veggies like spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, or mushrooms.

Storage and Reheating

This Chicken Artichoke Pasta makes really good leftovers, but it does dry out a little. Make sure to add a little cream or milk before heating it up in the microwave. I’ve also noticed that sometimes when you heat any chicken up in the microwave, it gives it a weird taste, but adding a little salt before microwaving helps to counteract that.

What to Serve with Chicken Artichoke Pasta

A crisp, garden-fresh salad with a zesty vinaigrette makes for a refreshing side dish, balancing the creamy richness of the pasta. Roasted or steamed vegetables such as asparagus, broccoli, or sautéed spinach offer a vibrant and nutritious complement to the meal. For a heartier option, consider garlic bread or crusty baguette slices to soak up that delectable sauce. If you’re in the mood for an appetizer, a bruschetta with diced tomatoes, basil, and balsamic drizzle can kickstart your meal with Italian flair.
