Preparation
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add chicken, salt and pepper, and brown - make sure to cook through. Set chicken aside.
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the onion into the pot and stir. Cook down for 1-2 minutes.
- Add mushrooms and garlic, and stir to incorporate with the onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste as well as thyme and paprika. Stir to evenly season.
- Add chicken broth and heavy cream to the pot and stir. Bring to a boil, then add the farfalle pasta.
- Cook according to package instructions, being sure to stir every 1-2 minutes to keep the pasta from clumping together. (Cook time may be a little longer in this recipe than when the pasta is boiled in water.)
- When the farfalle pasta is al dente, add the spinach and chicken and stir until the spinach cooks down and incorporates.
- Add parmesan and stir until it’s well-incorporated and you’re left with a smooth sauce.
- Top off with extra parmesan and serve.
- Enjoy!
