Modified from https://dishingouthealth.com/one-pot-chicken-mushroom-and-rainbow-chard-pasta/

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small cubes
  • 10 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 large bunch of Rainbow chard (or traditional Swiss Chard), removed from stems and torn
  • 1 large shallot, diced
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces Orecchiette pasta (or pasta of choice)
  • 3½ cups reduced sodium chicken broth
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Sea salt and fresh ground pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper and add to pot, cooking for 5-6 minutes, until slightly browned. Add shallots and garlic and saute for ~2-3 minutes, until garlic is aromatic. Add chopped mushrooms, chard and another dash of salt and pepper. Saute for ~5-6 minutes, until mushrooms soften and chard wilts down.
  2. Add pasta and chicken broth to pot. Bring to a boil and cook for 10-12 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed. Mix in parmesan cheese. Spoon into bowls and top with an extra sprinkle of cheese.
