Creamy Spinach and Artichoke Pasta with Chicken

 As a pasta junkie, I will continue to throw random ingredients in a pan and see what happens! 

Some combinations might be pretty similar, but still use different ingredients.  Again, pretty quick... This one was YUM!  Gets me every time : )

 

Creamy Spinach and Artichoke Pasta with Chicken

 

Package of frozen spinach

Cherry Tomatoes

Tomato Basil Pre-Marinated Chicken (Roman Gourmet @ Walmart)

Whole Wheat Penne Pasta

Philadelphia Cooking Cream- Italian Cheese and Herb

Artichokes

Capers

Feta

(Bacon, Shredded Mozarella)

 

 

Preheat oven and prepare chicken as directed on package.  I added a little water in the bottom of the glass pan so the chicken stayed moist while it cooked.  You will later add this juice to the pasta...

 

Boil water and dump in pasta.  In the meantime...

 

Add about half a bag of spinach and half a cup of water to pan and simmer until water is mostly gone and spinach is cooked.  Slice cherry tomatoes and add to spinach. 

 

When chicken is done, remove from oven and slice into chunks.  Add chicken (and juice) to spinach and tomato and toss.

 

When pasta is done, strain and add to chicken, spinach, and tomatoes.  When mixture is heated thoroughly, add Philadelphia Cooking Crème and mix in until melted through.

 

Serve hot with various toppings!

Everyone has different likes!  You can top with things such as artichokes and capers with feta cheese, or another combo we tried was bacon and shredded mozzarella cheese.

 

Whatever floats your boat.

 

ENJOY! LML<3
