Equipment

  • 1 Large Sauté Pan with Cover

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Pound Chicken Tenders You can also use chicken breast cut into strips.
  • 12 Ounces Gluten-Free Spaghetti
  • 3 Cups Chicken Broth
  • 13.5 Ounces Full Fat Coconut Milk
  • 4-6 Cups Baby Spinach
  • 1 Sweet Onion, Sliced Thinly
  • 4 Ounces Sundried Tomatoes, Roughly Chopped
  • 2-4 Cloves of Garlic, Minced
  • 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Dried Basil

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the pan to a medium heat and then add olive oil, onions, and garlic. Sauté for a few minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Next, add in the chicken. Season with red pepper flakes, salt, and dried basil. Cook the chicken for about 4 minutes on each side.
  • Once the chicken is cooked 90% through, add in the sundried tomatoes, 1 cup of chicken broth, and the entire 13.5 ounce can of full fat coconut milk. Cover and let simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.
  • Then add in the uncooked pasta and the rest of the chicken broth. Push the pasta so it is completely submerged in the sauce. Cover and let simmer for a few minutes.
  • Finally, stir in the spinach and let the dish cook uncovered until pasta is al-dente. Serve hot!

Notes

Expert Tips

  • Let the pasta simmer in the sauce covered but stir occasionally so it doesn't stick together.
  • The pasta will absorb the sauce, but you can add in extra broth when you reheat or if the dish has been sitting for a while.
  • If you don't have dried basil, you can swap with Italian Seasoning.
  • Do not overcook this dish, serve hot as soon as the pasta is al dente.
