Begin the prep: fill a pasta pot with cold water, cover, and place over high heat. Then heat a large covered pan over medium heat, adding the sliced chicken, cover and stir, and allow to sautee for about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, finish preparing your garlic, spinach, mushrooms, and goat cheese. Put pasta in boiling water and cook until al dente, about 5 minutes. Remove chicken from pan, keep warm on a platter. Add half the olive oil and butter to the pan, allowing the butter to melt before adding the garlic and then mushrooms. After a few minutes, add the spinach and the remaining olive oil and butter, stir and place cover on pan to help the spinach wilt. Add the chicken and pasta then stir until all ingredients are well distributed. Add the goat cheese before making one last stir. Pour into a large serving dish and garnish with parmesan cheese. Serve with crusty bread and a tossed salad.
