Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season your chicken with a little salt and pepper, then toss it in the skillet. Cook until golden brown and fully cooked through (about 6-8 minutes). Set aside.
While your chicken’s cooking, boil your pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. You may also use a high-protein or chickpea pasta if you want extra protein.
In the same skillet, pour in the Sturdy Garlic + Herb Sauce and let it simmer for a minute or two until heated through. Stir in your cooked chicken and toss to coat everything in that bold, herby sauce.
Mix the cooked pasta into the skillet, making sure every bite is covered in that delicious, protein-packed sauce. If you’re feeling fancy, toss in a couple of handfuls of spinach for a nutrient boost.
Plate it up, sprinkle it with some Parmesan if you’re into that and dig in.
