Jamie Oliver recipes: Chicken And Spinach
Skillet Pasta with Lemon And Parmesan
This
garlicky, lemony one-pan chicken pasta combines lean chicken breast and sautéed
spinach for a one-bowl meal that’s best served with a little Parm on top.
I
refer to it as “Mom’s Skillet Pasta,” and she refers to it as
“Devon’s Favorite Pasta.” In any case, it’s a quick and easy
weeknight dinner that we created together and scribbled on a little recipe card
over a decade ago, and it’s still in my weekly dinner rotation to this day.
It’s a simple meal that the whole family will enjoy.

How
to Make Chicken And Spinach Skillet Pasta with Lemon And Parmesan
This
chicken pasta dinner is a weeknight family favorite. Cleanup is a breeze because
this dish is made in just one skillet.
1) Start the Pasta
To
get this dinner on the table quickly, start the pasta. We use penne pasta, but
any shape will do. Gluten-free pasta works well if you are sensitive to gluten.
If
not, whole-wheat pasta will provide a fiber boost without detracting from the
flavor of the dish. Make sure not to overcook the pasta, as this will result in
a mushy dish at the end.
2) Cook the Chicken
Begin
the chicken while the pasta is cooking. (You’ll need a high-sided skillet or a
large pot large enough to hold all of the ingredients for this.) In this
recipe, you can use either chicken breast or chicken thighs.
If
you want a leaner dish with less trimming, go with chicken breast. Chicken
ideas have a meatier flavor, but they usually need to be trimmed. To ensure
even cooking, cut the pieces to roughly the same size.
3) Finish the Dish
Once
the chicken is fully cooked, you can finish the dish by making the sauce!
Garlic provides a savory base flavor.
To
make the sauce bright and tangy, wine and lemon juice (and zest) are added.
Simmering the sauce helps to blend the flavors and heats the pan enough to
rewarm the pasta and wilt the spinach, which is added at the end.

Jamie Oliver recipes: Creamy Chicken Noodle
Soup with Rotisserie Chicken
This
creamy rotisserie chicken soup is reminiscent of chicken pot pie. To cut down
on prep time, use rotisserie chicken—look for a nice big one with lots of breast
meat on it.
Serve
this hearty and simple soup with a green salad or, if you’re really hungry, a
grilled cheese sandwich.
How We Made Creamy Chicken Noodle Soup with
Rotisserie Chicken Healthy
“Creamy
soup” and “healthy” don’t usually go together, but in this
rotisserie chicken soup recipe, we managed to do both without sacrificing
flavor. Here’s how it’s done:
We Bulked Up On Veggies
Vegetables
not only add flavor and color to a soup, but they also provide vitamins and
fiber. Our soup contains 5 cups of onions, carrots, celery, and peas, which add
tons of flavor and fiber, helping you feel fuller for longer.

We make use of whole-wheat noodles.
Whole-wheat
noodles are a great choice in a soup like this one because the flavors
complement their nutty flavor while also adding fiber to your meal.
We Reduced Saturated Fat
The
American Dietary Guidelines recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less
than 10% of total daily calories.
We
kept saturated fat to a minimum by omitting the heavy cream that gives the
creamy soup its silky texture in favor of whole milk.
We
still cook the vegetables in our soup with butter, but we combine it with olive
oil, an unsaturated fat that may help keep our hearts healthy.
We Slashed Sodium
Although
rotisserie chicken is convenient (and delicious) in soup, it can be high in
sodium.
Read: Eating Style
Adults
should consume no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day, which is
equivalent to one teaspoon of salt, according to the Dietary Guidelines for
Americans.
To
reduce sodium, we use unsalted chicken broth and a moderate amount of kosher
salt in our soup.

boiling mixture, add the uncooked noodles.
