Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 - 1/2 c uncooked penne pasta
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1 - inch cubes ( i used a rotisserie chicken )
1/2 c chopped onion
3 clove garlic
1 c heavy whipping cream
2 tsp olive oil
1 can(s) ( 10 3/4 ounces ) condensed cream of mushroom soup
6 c coarsley chopped or torn fresh spinach
2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 tsp pepper
salt to taste

Steps:

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a Dutch oven over medium heat, cook and stir chicken and onion in oil for 5 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. ( if using a rotisserie chicken, skip the browning part ) just saute the garlic and onions.
2. Stir in soup and cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes.
3. Stir in the spinach, cheese and pepper; cook for 1-2 minutes or until spinach is wilted and cheese is melted.
4. Drain pasta; add to chicken mixture and toss to coat.
5. Note: I have tried this with other cream soups as well, also have added roasted red peppers. You could add just about anything to this, and it would still be delicious. Enjoy!
