Cook pasta according to directions. Drain thoroughly. Return to
pot and cover. Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet
over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring once or
twice until browned (4-6 minutes). Set aside.
Add remaining oil and the onion, fennel, garlic, salt and thyme to
skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until
vegetables begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes. Add sherry and
cook, stirring often, until evaporated (1-2 minutes). Sprinkle
with flour and stir to coat. Add broth and milk, increase heat to
medium-high and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook,
stirring often, until sauce is thickened, 2-3 minutes.
Add chicken and any juice back to skillet and and cook, stirring
often, until chicken is cooked throughout, about 3 minutes. Add
spinach and cook until wilted, 30-90 seconds. Remove from heat
and stir in Parmesan cheese and chives. Stir chicken and sauce into
pasta. Season with black pepper.
