What’s for Dinner

So, I have another wonderful recipe for all of you ladies!  I got this one from Pinterest (of course!) and seriously, it is a KEEPER!  So easy and delicious!  I edited the recipe a little for our taste but find the original here!

Chicken & Pasta Spinach Bake

Ingredients:

• 1 (12 ounce) package rigatoni pasta
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3/4 cup diced onion
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and drained well
• 3 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
• 1 (14 ounce) Italian-style diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 (8 ounce) container of chive & onion cream cheese
• 1 package of shredded mozzarella cheese

Steps:

• Season chicken breasts (I used 3) with salt, pepper, and garlic powder
• Cook chicken breasts anyway you prefer (I roasted in foil in oven at 425 for 20 minutes)
• Prepare rigatoni according to directions
• In a 11x17 baking dish, pour olive oil over bottom.  Spread diced onion in a single layer over top of the oil.  Place in oven at 375 and bake for 15 minutes
• Mix together drained and chopped spinach, rigatoni, diced tomatoes, cream cheese, and onions
• Salt and pepper the mixture
• Add and mix in the cubed chicken
• Spray same baking dish you cooked the onions with non-stick cooking spray
• Spoon mixture into baking dish
• Top with mozzarella cheese
• Baked covered at 375 for 15 minutes
• Uncover and bake until cheese is bubbly

Seriously, very easy and sooo good!  I served with a salad and croissants.  Great for leftovers as well!  Enjoy!
