Fancy Pants Chicken

,

I don’t know what to call this chicken dish, but it’s easy and impressive. Maybe Sundried Tomato-Spinach Herbed Cream Chicken? Let me know if you think of a good name.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups chopped cooked chicken (perfect for leftovers or a rotisserie chicken)
  • 1 container garlic and herb cream cheese spread (usually 7.5 oz)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste. I did a large pinch of each.
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped roughly (I get the kind in the resealable bag)
  • 1 cup baby spinach, no need to chop
  • 1/2 lb pasta, I used penne
  • Lemon juice, optional

Instructions

Put water to boil for the pasta and in the meantime, in a large skillet or braiser over medium-low heat, melt down the cream cheese spread. Mix in the heavy cream and sun-dried tomatoes. Let the sauce gently cook as you prepare your pasta. It should be creamy. Taste your sauce for seasoning, then add the cooked chicken, spinach, and pasta. .Toss together, squeeze a little lemon juice on top, and serve with a big salad and crusty bread.

About Me

Hello friend, my name is Katie and pizza is my favorite food. Yes, I’m in my thirties and yes, I have three daughters that I’m raising and homeschooling and nagging, but I think you’d be most interested to know that I would eat pizza for every meal of every day and never complain. There was a brief time (ages 8-11) when I thought that mashed potatoes was my favorite food, but I’ve since come around. That being said, I don’t only talk about pizza. Here you will find slices of homeschooling life, home decor, cooking, musings, and an occasional funny meme. In fact, I think you will find a shocking lack of pizza content as a whole, but now you know the truth: Pizza is always close to mind.
