Spinach Alfredo Potatoes and Chicken
If you're looking for an easy sheet pan dinner that's creamy, comforting, and packed with flavor, this Spinach Alfredo Potatoes and Chicken is the perfect recipe. Tender roasted baby gold potatoes, juicy Italian-seasoned chicken cutlets, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, and creamy Alfredo sauce all come together in one pan for a meal that's hearty enough for a family dinner but simple enough for a busy weeknight.Roasting the potatoes first gives them a head start so they become perfectly tender while developing golden, caramelized edges. The sun-dried tomato oil and zesty Italian seasoning infuse the potatoes with rich, savory flavor before they're tossed with creamy Alfredo sauce and whole sun-dried tomatoes.The chicken cooks right alongside the potatoes, soaking up the remaining Alfredo sauce while staying tender and juicy. Fresh baby spinach is stirred into the hot potato mixture at the end, allowing it to wilt naturally without overcooking. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes adds just the right amount of heat to balance the richness of the Alfredo sauce.Everything bakes together in one dish, making cleanup easy while creating a comforting dinner that's loaded with creamy, cheesy flavor in every bite.
