This creamy one-pot pasta dish is so delicious but easy to make too.

📝 Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 chicken breasts (boneless skinless cut into bite-sized pieces)
  • 4 ounces chopped bacon
  • 1 onion (medium sized, chopped)
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 8 oz Crimini mushrooms (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 5 Tablespoons half and half
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 8 ounces cooked pasta
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • a good handful of fresh parsley (chopped)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Heat one tablespoon of the olive oil in a deep, nonstick frying pan. Add the chicken breasts and bacon. Cook over a high heat for 4-5 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink and the bacon is crisp.
  2. 2Heat the second tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onions and mushrooms, cook until the onions are translucent and mushrooms are cooked (about 5 minutes). Add the garlic and cook another minute.
  3. 3Pour in the wine and let it bubble over a high heat until it has virtually evaporated.
  4. 4Add the spinach, the cream, pasta, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper, stir well. Cover the pan and cook for 4 minutes more until the chicken is cooked all the way through. Serve hot.
