Instructions

  1. Season chicken thighs with smoked sweet paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Heat sun-dried tomato oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken until golden brown and fully cooked (about 6-7 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
  2. Cook farfalle pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and keep aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté dried shallots, garlic, and onion until fragrant. Add gluten-free flour to create a roux, then whisk in chicken broth followed by heavy cream until smooth.
  4. Stir in parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, spinach, Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, and salt. Simmer for about 5 minutes.
  5. Combine cooked pasta with sauce and juices from the chicken. Toss well to coat before serving with fresh basil.
