Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 lbs chicken breast (diced small)
  • 1 3/4 tsp sweet smoked paprika
  • 1 1/2 tsp oregano
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp thyme
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 12 oz gluten-free farfalle (or your pasta of choice)
  • 4 tbsp dairy-free butter
  • 2 tbsp minced onion
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 2/3 tbsp gluten-free 1:1 flour
  • 2 cups dairy-free heavy cream
  • 2 cups chopped spinach
  • 8 oz dairy-free Parmesan (shredded)
  • 2 tbsp pasta water (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta. Boil the pasta in a large pot of water according to the package directions for al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of the pasta water.
  2. Season the chicken. Toss the chicken with all the seasonings until it’s well-coated.
  3. Sear the chicken. Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Prepare the sauce. In the same skillet, melt the dairy-free butter, add the minced onion and sauce seasonings, and sauté for about a minute.
  5. Make it thick! Sprinkle in the gluten-free flour, whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, add spinach, and simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  6. Stir in the cheese. Add dairy-free Parmesan and stir until melted. Cook until desired thickness is reached.
  7. Combine it all! Toss the pasta with the sauce, adding pasta water if it seems too thick. Gently stir in the chicken.
  8. Serve and enjoy!
