Seasoned chicken breast strips roast in the oven with artichoke hearts, spinach and pimentos. The gluten free pasta boils to al dente perfection on the stove.

    Gluten Free Artichoke, Chicken and Spinach Pasta Sure is Sophisticated, Y'all

    If you're a regular reader of my blog, you already know how much I love chicken. It's cheap and it's tasty. And like a little black dress in the closet, it goes with almost every single thing I have sitting around in my freezer, fridge and pantry.

    Well, yet another late working day weeknight meal need arose last week. So, I knew that I needed to rise to the challenge of delivering a hot, hearty dinner for Mark and I to refuel quickly from our respective workday overloads. Yep.

    Armed with 1 ½ pounds of fresh chicken breast, I set out and about my kitchen looking for just the right ingredients to create a brand new, mad dash dish. 

    A quick peek into the freezer revealed exactly 1 cup of frozen spinach just screaming to be thawed out. A thorough left-to-right and then right-to-left pantry hunting glance exposed half a pack of dry GF spaghetti and a can of artichoke hearts.

    Finally, waiting in the fridge for me was a little lime juice, Parmesan Romano cheese and half a jar of pimentos. The butter drawer along the fridge door did not disappoint either. There was ¾ a stick left!! So, I gave it my 'I'm going to make something new for dinner without running out to the grocery store all' y'all!!

    Forty-five minutes later, I had this gluten free artichoke, chicken and spinach pasta on the dinner table (I mean coffee table). And Mark's random 'yums' and 'oh this is sooo good' exclaims made me pat myself on the back for taking a few pictures before we stuffed ourselves straight silly.

    How to Make Gluten Free Artichoke, Chicken and Spinach Pasta on Yum-Delicious Purpose, Y'all

    To start the gluten free artichoke, chicken and spinach pasta, put the gluten free spaghetti on to boil. Then, preheat the oven and grease a 9-inch cast iron skillet.

    Season the chicken breast strips. Then, toss them in the skillet with the thawed spinach, artichoke hearts and pimentos.

    Bake until all of the ingredients are cooked through. Then, toss with the cooked pasta. Adjust seasonings, then finish off the gluten free artichoke, chicken and spinach pasta with the butter and Parmesan Romano cheese. 

    And then dig right into the sophisticated taste and texture, y'all. The seasoned chicken releases its juices deep into the veggies that caramelize ever so slightly, bringing out all of their individual flavors throughout each bite. The buttered pasta picks up every bit of the Parmesan Romano cheese sprinkles, taking the whole dish to 'I've just gotta have one more bite' delish. Oh, the yumminess, y'all!! And it made it through the next day taste and tenderness test like a champ!!

    Share this gluten free artichoke, chicken and spinach pasta with those who make staying in for dinner a memorable adventure. And see y'all on the yum side...

    Notes

    I only had 1 cup of spinach on hand. I recently tried this using 2 cups of spinach, and the dinner batch was great. However, all of the leftovers turned green. They tasted good, but were very visually unappealing. I'm going to stick with 1 cup or less of spinach going forward.
