Cookware
chef's knife · colander · cutting board · grater · measuring cups · measuring spoons · medium saucepan · salad spinner (optional) · stainless steel skillet · stirring spoon · tongs
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until al dente, about 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Wash and dry the spinach; rinse the tomatoes and mushrooms. Halve the tomatoes and quarter the mushrooms. Peel and mince the garlic.
- Warm a skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper.
- Coat the bottom of the skillet with virgin coconut oil. Add the chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 1–2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- If needed, add a little more oil to the skillet and lower the heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 15–30 seconds. Add the mushrooms and season with salt and pepper; cook until tender, about 3–4 minutes.
- Grate or shave about 1/8 cup of Parmesan.
- Pour in the broth and simmer until reduced by about half. Remove the pan from heat.
- Return the chicken to the skillet with the tomatoes, spinach, and cooked pasta. Toss everything until combined and the spinach is wilted.
- Serve the pasta on plates and sprinkle with Parmesan before serving.
Two tips
- Prep ahead: chop the garlic, mushrooms, and wash the spinach and tomatoes in advance for quick cooking.
- Swap idea: use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, if you prefer.
