The pasta cooks in the same skillet as everything else, so the starch melts into the sauce and there is exactly one pot in the sink. Lemon and spinach keep it from feeling heavy.

4 servings or type

1 pound Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1-inch pieces

½ teaspoon Kosher salt

¼ teaspoon Ground black pepper

2 tablespoons Olive oil

⅔ cup Diced tomatoes, drained

2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice

2 Garlic cloves, minced

1 pound Linguine

1 cup Baby spinach, packed

3 cups Water

1 cup Grated parmesan cheese

Steps

Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large high-sided skillet over medium-high; cook the chicken 2 minutes until browned, then transfer to a bowl.
Cook the tomatoes 1 minute, then the garlic 30 seconds. Add the lemon juice and cook 30 seconds more.
Add the linguine, spinach, and water; simmer, then reduce to low, cover, and cook 5 minutes. Return the chicken, cover, and cook 5 more minutes, until the pasta is al dente, the liquid has become a sauce, and the chicken is 165°F.
Serve sprinkled with parmesan.

Tip: Break the linguine in half before it goes in. Full-length strands are a wrestling match in a skillet.
