Ingredients

  • 1 small to medium rotisserie chicken, skin and bones removed (600 grams)
  • 3 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped (90 grams)
  • 2 cups small pasta like orecchiette (210 grams)
  • 12 oz rainbow cherry tomatoes, halved (340 grams)
  • 8 oz sliced Baby Bella mushrooms
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped (160 gram)
  • 1 lemon, juiced and zested
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced and divided (20 grams)
  • 1 13.5 fl oz can light coconut milk
  • 1 3/4 cup Swanson Chicken Cooking Stock (14 fl oz)
  • 3/4 cup dry white wine like Sauvignon Blanc (6 fl oz)
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (75 grams)
  • 1 tbsp butter (14 grams)
  • 1/2 tbsp olive oil (8 grams)
  • 1 tsp Oh My Spice! Lemon Pepper Seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Line a small baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Toss halved tomatoes with olive oil and half of the garlic.  Arrange in a single layer on lined baking sheet.  Bake for 20 minutes and set aside.
  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat.  Add butter and melt, then add onion and garlic.  Sauté for 1-2 minutes, then add mushrooms and continue to sauté for another 3 minutes.
  • Add coconut milk, chicken stock, wine, and Oh My Spice seasoning.  Cover and bring to a boil, then add pasta, salt and pepper.  Stir until pasta is covered, then lower heat to a simmer for 10-12 minutes. Note: cooking time will vary depending on the size/shape of your pasta. Remove it from the heat when it is very al dente since it will continue cooking in the sauce after.
  • Remove pot from heat and stir in chicken, spinach, roasted tomatoes, basil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and parmesan cheese.  Cover and allow to rest for about 5 minutes or until chicken is heated through, pasta is cooked al dente, and spinach is wilted.
  • Serve with fresh lemon zest, basil, and more parmesan cheese, if desired.
