Equipment

  • Large Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese (shredded)
  • 3 tbsps Olive Oil
  • 5 oz Spinach
  • 1.5 lbs Chicken Breast Cubed
  • 1 lb Farfalle or Butterfly Pasta
  • 1/2 Yellow Union (diced)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 pinch Salt (for taste)
  • 1 pinch Pepper (for taste)
  • 4 cups Chicken Broth
  • 2 cups Cremini Mushrooms
  • 2 tsps Paprika
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tsp Dried Thyme

Instructions
 

  • Heat large pot on medium, adding 2 tbsps of olive oil.
  • Cook until chicken is brown, then remove from the pot and set aside.
  • Add another 2 tbsps of olive oil to the pan with diced onions, cooking onions until they're brown.
  • Then add the mushrooms, garlic, thyme, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mixing to combine ingredients evenly.
  • Add the chicken broth and heavy cream to the pot and stir.
  • Bring the pot to a boil and add the farfalle pasta.
  • Stir every 1 to 2 minutes to prevent pasta from clumping together. (The cook time for the pasta may take a little longer in this recipe compared to boiling pasta in water).
  • Once the pasta starts to soften, add the chicken and spinach cooking until incorporated.
  • Then add the parmesan and stir in until it forms a smooth sauce.
  • Let cool and serve with parmesan on top.
