CHICKEN & SPINACH SKILLET PASTA WITH LEMON & PARMESAN



Chicken & Spinach Skillet Pasta with Lemon & Parmesan image

This one-pan pasta that combines lean chicken breast and sautéed spinach for a one-bowl meal is garlicky, lemony and best served with a little Parm on top. I call it "Mom's Skillet Pasta" and she called it "Devon's Favorite Pasta." Either way it's a quick and easy weeknight dinner we created together and scribbled on a little recipe card more than a decade ago, and it remains in my weekly dinner rotation to this day. It's a simple dinner the whole family will love.

Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound farfalle (bow-tie) pasta
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 pounds chicken tenders, patted dry
salt and ground black pepper to taste
24 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
3 tablespoons fresh minced garlic
3 cups chicken broth
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
¼ cup heavy cream
2 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
2 tablespoons coarsely grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste
1 teaspoon chopped flat-leaf (Italian) parsley, or to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and transfer to a serving bowl or a deep platter.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Season tenders with salt and pepper, place in the hot oil, and cook until lightly brown on one side, 3 to 4 minutes. Turn and cook on the other side until light brown, an additional 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  • Add mushrooms and onion to the hot skillet and cook until onion is lightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in chicken broth and mustard, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes. Return chicken tenders to skillet and submerge them in the broth mixture. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and place on top of the cooked pasta.
  • Continue to cook the sauce until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in cream. Add spinach stir until slightly wilted, about 1 minute. Pour sauce over chicken and pasta. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and garnish with parsley.
