Pasta, pieces of fried chicken, fresh spinach, and sweet grape tomatoes fall in love in this delicious, light pasta dish that's sure to make you fall in love too. The dish is bright and juicy, and the finely shaved Parmesan cheese adds a special flavor. Ree Drummond recommends shaving the Parmesan with a vegetable peeler rather than grating it, so you can better appreciate every salty bite.

Preparation:

Step 1
• Cook the pasta in lightly salted water according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the chicken pieces in a single layer and cook, undisturbed, for a few minutes until browned. Flip the chicken over and cook the other side. Cook until cooked through, then remove the chicken from the pan.
Step 3
• Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and stir quickly to prevent burning. After about 30 seconds, pour in the broth and wine, stirring and scraping the bottom with a wooden spoon. Bring the liquid to a boil, then continue cooking until it has reduced by at least half (at this point, most of the surface of the liquid should be bubbling).
Step 4
• Turn off the heat. Add the spinach, tomatoes, chicken, cooked pasta, and Parmesan shavings to the pan. Stir. The spinach will wilt as you stir. Add more Parmesan shavings and serve immediately.
