Time 25m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 lb thin spaghetti
8 ounces chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2 ounces prosciutto
4 leaves fresh basil, minced fine (or 1/4 tsp dried)
2 fresh plum tomatoes, diced
2 roasted red peppers, diced
1 -2 garlic clove, minced fine
1 teaspoon butter
1/4 cup grated pecorino romano cheese (or locatelli)
1/4 white wine
2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves

Steps:

  • Boil water and cook spaghetti according to package instructions. DO NOT ever use oil in the water! It makes the sauce slide off the spaghetti later.
  • Fillet chicken in half to make thin and dredge in flour that has been seasoned with salt, pepper and garlic powder (to your taste).
  • In skillet, saute chicken in olive oil, turning once, until it looks done, about 4-5 minutes each side. Use medium-high heat. Remove to plate, set aside.
  • Add prosciutto, basil, tomatoes, red peppers, garlic and butter to pan. Saute 5 minutes.
  • Add cheese and wine, bring to boil and simmer to reduce about 2 minutes.
  • Add spinach and cook just until wilted and beginning to cook, about 2 minutes.
  • To serve, pour sauce over pasta,place chicken on top and dig in! Pass the grated cheese on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. For this recipe, boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs work best. If you're using chicken breasts, slice them into 1-inch pieces. If you're using chicken thighs, bone and skin them first, then cut them into 1-inch pieces.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better your dish will taste. This is especially true for the tomatoes and basil.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it's cooked through. The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Add the sauce and cheese. Once the chicken is cooked through, add the sauce and cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is heated through.
  • Serve immediately. Chicken Napoli is best served immediately, over pasta or rice.

Conclusion:

Chicken Napoli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
