One Pot Pasta with Chicken, Spinach, Mushrooms, and Tomato
Equipment
- Dutch Oven I love using my Le Creuset Dutch Oven for this recipe!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cubed
- Kosher Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
- 1 Shallot, diced
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 cup Baby Bella Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Roma Tomato, halved, quartered, or chopped depending on size
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes, more or less depending on heat preference
- 2 cups Chicken Broth
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 8 oz Pasta, Use a short-cut shape such as bowties
- 3 oz Baby Spinach
- 1/2 cup Low Moisture Mozzarella Cheese, shredded
- 1/8 cup Parmesan Cheese, freshly grated to serve
Instructions
- Season cubed chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 8 minutes, or until fully cooked. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the pot. Sauté the shallot and garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, Italian seasoning, paprika, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, and more salt and pepper to taste. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a boil, then add the uncooked pasta. Stir well and cook until the pasta is al dente, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Reduce the heat and stir in the cooked chicken, spinach, and shredded cheese until the spinach wilts and the cheese melts. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan cheese on top.
