  • 3 tablespoon Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 gluten free flour

Instructions

  1. Chicken – Wash the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, coat the chicken with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat the sun dried tomato oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Then, sear the chicken for 3 minutes on both sides. Reduce the heat to medium-low and place a lid on the pan. Then, cook the chicken thighs for 6 to 10 more minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Set the chicken aside to cool while you make the rest of the dish.
  2. Pasta – While the chicken is cooking, boil the pasta according to the package directions for al dente. Then, drain it and set it aside. Melt the butter in the pan and sauté the dried shallots, minced onion, minced garlic, sun dried tomatoes, and tomato paste with the pasta seasonings: Italian seasoning, salt, and paprika on medium-low heat for 2 minutes until fragrant. Then, add the flour and stir to combine. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, and spinach to the skillet. Cook until the sauce begins to thicken and the spinach is wilted. Then, add the parmesan cheese and stir until creamy. Dice the cooled chicken into bite size pieces while the sauce cooks. Add the diced chicken and the pasta to the skillet and stir gently. Garnish with fresh basil and enjoy!
