Top Secret Recipe for Chicken Fra Diavolo with Fresh Spinach Leaves
These are recipes from my personal restaurant collection. This recipe is a version that I came up with for the clientèle I was serving.
Serves 2-4
Ingredients
- 1lb of pasta (Farfalle, Penne, Spaghettini, or your choice)
- 1lb of Grilled chicken (cook ahead of time and slice thinly)
- 18 oz of alfredo
- 6 oz of chunky tomato sauce
- 1 cup of chopped roma(Plum) tomato
- 1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
- 1 Tablespoon chopped garlic
- 2 Tablespoons of Olive Oil (Extra Virgin is best)
- ½ cup of lobster butter (if you are cooking at home use a seafood base and whole butter mixed together) 1:4 Ratio
- Fresh Spinach
- Salt and Pepper
Method
- Heat up large sauté pan with olive oil added on High Heat
- Add garlic and roasted red pepper. Please remember that these red pepper flakes will burn quickly at high heat if you don’t complete the process correctly.
- If you have to, remove the pan from the burner. Add the chopped tomato and return the pan to the burner. Sauté for about 2 minutes.
- Add the grilled chicken and sauté until internally hot.
- Add the alfredo and tomato sauce and heat until it simmers.
- Add the lobster butter. Stir until the butter melts.
- Now add the pasta. Toss the sauce and pasta until it’s all evenly coated. Add some salt and pepper for flavor.
- At this point, you can add a large handful of fresh spinach. Toss the pasta with the spinach just enough to incorporate it.
I have completed this recipe hundreds of times so if you have any questions about it, I will be happy to help.
