Steps:
- Pound out Chicken Breasts just enough to tenderize and flatten. Sprinkle chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Set aside.
- Cook spaghetti according to package direction. When spaghetti is done, toss with a bit of olive oil, fresh chopped parsley and spinach ribbons. Stir enough to combine and wilt spinach. Set aside keep warm.
- While spaghetti cooks, heat extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. (I use my square electric one for this, otherwise, work in batches) Cook chicken evenly about 6 minutes a side until done. Set aside, keep warm.
- Add mushrooms and onions to the pan. Saute until mushrooms are softened and shallots are transucent. Add in garlic. Saute for 30 seconds orso.
- Mix together flour and chicken broth until smooth. Add to pan. Pour in half & half and simmer, stirring until thick and bubbly. Turn off heat. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Add chicken back into pan.
- To plate. Pile a heaping serving of the spaghetti/spinach mixture onto the plate. Top with a piece of chicken and ladle some of the sauce over the top. Sprinkle with any combination of fresh basil leaves, choped parsley, diced tomato and grated parmesan if desired.
