Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken breast cubed
- ¾ tsp sea salt divided
- ¼ tsp black pepper divided (omit for AIP)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ½ onion diced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups baby bella mushrooms sliced
- 1 tbsp arrowroot starch

- ¼ cup coconut milk
- 2 tsp basil chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley divided
- 2 cups spinach
- Optional- 1 1/2 cup gluten free pasta cooked (sub 1 1/2 cups zucchini noodles to keep grain free)
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large stock pot or dutch oven and add the chicken. Saute until internal temperature reads 165 F. Set aside.
- Add the onion to the pot and saute for 4-5 minutes or until lightly translucent. Add the garlic and mushrooms and saute for another 3-4 minutes or until the mushrooms are lightly fork tender. Add the arrowroot and stir to coat.
- Add the chicken back to the pot. Pour in the broth, marsala, coconut milk, and season with salt, pepper, basil, and parsley. Stir well to combine.
- Bring to a low simmer and allow to simmer for 25-30 minutes. Add the spinach at the end and the optional pasta (see notes) or zucchini noodles. Stir until the spinach is wilted.
- Serve topped with additional parsley and seasoning to taste.
Notes
Keep in mind the alcohol in the marsala wine will cook off. You can still sub sherry vinegar as an alterative.
If you intend to eat the soup later, store the pasta seperately and combine when ready to serve.
