One-Pot Chicken and Portobello Rigatoni

Quick Notes: This One-Pot Chicken and Portobello Rigatoni is the first true one-pot recipe I’ve come up with on my own without any reference or inspiration, and it was fuckin bomb. You can definitely sub white mushrooms, or remove the meat or even use different meat and it should still work out ok.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb uncooked rigatoni
  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • 2 cups sliced baby bella mushrooms
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • parsley
  • onion powder
  • garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large deep pot (this is your one pot, so choose wisely) bring your olive oil to temperature over medium-high heat. 
  2. Add your chicken to the pot and season both sides with parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.  Cook until cooked through and browned on both sides.  Depending on how big your breast is this might take about ten or so minutes. Remove and set on a cutting board to cool. 
  3. Add two more tablespoons of olive oil to the pot along with the mushrooms, and garlic.  Saute these together for two to three minutes.  
  4. Add the chicken stock and water to the pot.  Allow it to come to a boil.  While you're waiting for the liquid to boil, slice your chicken into small slices and return it to the pot.  Once it is boiling, add the pasta. Boil uncovered for three minutes less than your pasta instructions tell you.  Test the pasta.  It should be just undercooked from al-dente.
  5. Stir in your heavy cream.  Allow the pot to return to a boil. 
  6. In a small dish, mix your cornstarch with just enough water that it is actually fluid and mix it into your pasta.
  7. Slowly mix in your parmesan, put the spinach on top, remove from the heat, and cover.  Allow it to sit for 2-3 minutes or until your spinach wilts. 
  8. Stir everything together and serve.  Top with parmesan.
