Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

  • 12 - 16 ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 3/4-inch pieces

  • Salt and black pepper

  • 1 cup sliced fresh cremini or button mushrooms

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 14.5 ounce can chicken broth

  • 1 14.5 ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained

  • ½ cup chopped oil-packed dried tomatoes, drained

  • 2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning, crushed

  • 8 ounce dried linguine, spaghetti, or fettuccine, broken in half, if necessary

  • 2 cup packed baby kale

  • 2 6.5 ounce jars marinated artichoke hearts, well-drained and chopped

  • ½ cup purchased basil pesto

  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. In a 4- to 6-qt. Dutch oven heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Season chicken evenly with salt and pepper. Cook chicken in hot oil, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Remove chicken from pot using a slotted spoon.

  2. Add mushrooms to pot. Cook and stir about 5 minutes or just until mushrooms are softened. Add garlic; cook and stir 1 minute. Stir in the next four ingredients (through Italian seasoning). Bring to boiling. Stir in pasta. Return to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, 8 to 10 minutes or until pasta is almost tender, stirring occasionally. (Stir in additional broth or water if mixture seems dry.)

  3. Return chicken to pot. Stir in kale, artichoke hearts, and pesto. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 10 minutes. Top each serving with Parmesan cheese.
