Ingredients

4 Chicken breasts
2 tbsp Olive oil
3 tbsp All purpose seasoning
1 tbsp Sun-dried tomato oil
1/2 Yellow onion - diced
4 Garlic cloves - chopped
1/2 cup Sun-dried tomatoes - chopped
2 tbsp Tomato paste
6 cups Chicken broth - unsalted
2 cups Pasta shells
5 oz Baby Spinach
1 cup Heavy cream
1 cup Grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tbsp Crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and Pepper to taste

Instructions

Season the chicken breast with the all purpose seasoning.
Heat up a dutch oven or large pot with olive oil. Place the chicken breast inside and cook until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken.
In the same pot add the sun-dried tomato oil and the diced onion. Saute until translucent. Add in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and garlic. Mix and saute for 1-2 minutes releasing the aromatics.
Add in the tomato paste and mix it in with the veggies.
Pour in the chicken broth and season with Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes. Bring everything to a boil and drop in the dry pasta.
Chop up or shred the cooked chicken breast and clean the spinach leaves.
Once the pasta shells are al dente, add in the heavy cream, grated parmesan, cut up chicken and spinach. Mix everything together making sure to submerge the spinach.
Cook for another 10 minutes or until the spinach has wilted down. Taste for flavor and adjust to your liking.
Once plated, add more grated parmesan and some freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

Use unsalted broth. Adjust flavor at the end of the cook.
Use rotisserie chicken or left over chicken to skip a step.
For more heat double the crushed red pepper flakes.
Swap spinach for Kale, heavy cream for coconut milk, pasta for gnocchi.
Add more broth at the end of the soup is too creamy.
