CHICKEN AND SPINACH PASTA
Amazingly delicious and super easy! I have jealously guarded this recipe for years as it is the one dish I WAS known for. As my confidence has grown as well as my recipe box, I am ready to share. UPSIDE= this is the only way I can get my boys to eat spinach DOWNSIDE=this is the weightwatchers, jenny craigs and atkins diet's nemesis Breast or Legmeat? Totally up to what you prefer, i personally have found chicken breast to be too dry sometimes. When I make this I double all the ingredients except for the pasta and have gotten a great response but because cream cheese is not so easy on the thighs i have listed the ingredients as originally intended.
