Ingredients
-
1 Pound Filleted Chicken Breast
-
6 Cloves Garlic
-
1 Shallot
-
.5 Pound Crimini Mushrooms
-
1 Cup Marsala WineMarsala cooking wine is an excellent, often cheaper, alternative to regular wine. Make sure you do not add any additional salt if you use it though as it is often salty.
-
2 Large Handfuls Spinach
-
1 Pint Cream
-
2 Ounces Parmesan Cheese
-
1 Pound Spaghetti NoodlesLinguine or other noodles work too
Directions
- Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook noodles according to package directions. Strain and set aside until ready to serve.
- Prepare ingredients: Mince garlic and shallot. Stem and thinly slice mushrooms. Grate parmesan cheese.
- Cook Chicken: If not already done, fillet each breast into 1/2 inch pieces. You can ask your butcher to help with this if you prefer. Lay each fillet out onto a cutting board or sheet pan and season with salt and pepper. Heat a large frying pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add a small amount of oil and swirl around to ensure the surface is covered. Lay each chicken breast flat into the pan, ensuring there is a little bit of space between each breast to avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked to 165°. Remove the chicken from the heat and let rest on a plate until ready to serve.
- Prepare Sauce: Using the same pan you used to cook the chicken, add a little bit more oil. Add minced garlic and shallot and cook stirring for about 1 minute. Add mushrooms and cook and stir until they have wilted and have begun to shrink. Add wine and cook for 3-4 minutes until almost all the wine has evaporated. While the wine is simmering, scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the burned bits of chicken off the bottom. This will add a lot of flavor to the sauce. Add spinach and cream, and stir until the spinach has completely wilted. Remove from heat and mix in parmesan cheese. Taste the sauce at this point and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve: If preparing in advance, see the meal prep tip below. If serving immediately, combine noodles and about 3/4 of all the sauce. Stir until all the noodles are covered and split the pasta equally onto each plate. Thinly slice the chicken and place a portion onto each plate. Using the remaining sauce, pour over the chicken. Add additional parmesan cheese as an optional garnish and enjoy!
Meal Prep Tip:
If you plan to eat this meal more than a couple of hours after preparing it, store the sauce, noodles, and chicken in separate containers. Heat each separately and combine using the instructions in step 5 above.
