Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside.

  2. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced chicken to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

  3. Sauté the Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet with the mushrooms. Add the fresh spinach and stir everything together until the spinach wilts.

  5. Make the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.

  6. Add the Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet with the creamy chicken and mushroom mixture. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the sauce.

  7. Finish and Serve: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta and stir it in until melted. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
