Total Time: 35Min
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2 small onion, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 oz cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 tsp dried oregano
1/3 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup sodium-reduced chicken broth
4 cups packed baby spinach
12 oz spaghettini
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1. Sprinkle chicken with half each of the salt and pepper. In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, 4 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
2. Heat remaining oil in skillet over medium heat; cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, mushrooms and oregano; cook until mushrooms are slightly softened, about 4 minutes.
3. Pour in wine and chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Add chicken and remaining salt and pepper; simmer until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach until wilted.
4. Meanwhile, in large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and return to pot, reserving 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid. Add chicken mixture and reserved liquid; toss to combine. Serve topped with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
