Creamy Chicken Pasta w/Spinach & Tomato




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




2 cups uncooked pasta, preferable penne or ziti
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 10 3/4 oz. can chicken broth
1 9 oz pkg. cream cheese (I used the light kind)
1 9 oz pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 tsp. garlic, chopped
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
15 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, optional

Recipe



In a large saucepan, bring water to a boil, then cook pasta according to the directions on box.

Slice chicken breasts into approximately 1" cubes. In a large skillet, heat half the can of chicken broth and chicken cubes, turning pieces with a slotted spatula for 5 to 7 minutes until chicken is no longer pink.

Add cream cheese, spinach, remaining half can of chicken broth, garlic, salt and pepper. Heat for about 3 to 5 minutes, until cream cheese has melted. Add cherry tomato halves and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, until tomatoes are soft.

Toss the drained pasta with chicken and vegetable mixture. If desired, sprinkle this dish with parmesan cheese, according to taste.
