Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces uncooked pasta
  • 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Flour for dredging
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 5 ounces fresh baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated

Instructions
 

  • Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it's bubbling, add the pasta and cook it until it's al dente, according to the package instructions.
  • While the pasta cooks, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and season with salt and pepper. Coat them in flour for a light crust.
  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter and avocado oil together. When the mixture is sizzling, add the chicken and cook until it's no longer pink.
  • Remove the chicken from the skillet. Off the heat, stir in minced garlic, chicken broth, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and Italian seasoning, scraping up any tasty bits from the bottom.
  • Return the skillet to the heat, add the chicken back in along with the cream and fresh spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts and the chicken is fully cooked.
  • Drain the pasta and toss it with the creamy chicken mixture. Stir in the parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
