  • 3 pieces Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs
  • 0.75 tablespoon Smoked Sweet Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 0.75 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Sun-Dried Tomato Oil From the jar of sun-dried tomatoes
  • 12 oz Farfalle Pasta
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 2 tablespoons Dried Shallots
  • 2 tablespoons Minced Garlic
  • 1 tablespoon Minced Onion
  • 3 tablespoons Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten-Free Flour
  • 2 cups Chicken Broth
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream

  • 2 tablespoons Tomato Paste
  • 1 cup Diced Spinach
  • 1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon Smoked Sweet Paprika
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
 

  • Season the chicken thighs with smoked sweet paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  • In a large skillet, heat the sun-dried tomato oil over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and brown each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden crust forms.
  • Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and set aside.
  • In a pot, bring salted water to a boil and cook the farfalle pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the dried shallots, minced garlic, and minced onion, stirring for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle in the gluten-free flour, mixing well to create a roux, then slowly whisk in the chicken broth until smooth.
  • Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream, shredded parmesan, diced sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, and spinach. Mix until well combined.
  • Add the Italian seasoning, smoked sweet paprika, and salt to taste.
  • Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet along with the cooked pasta. Toss everything together, adding reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
  • Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
