1 package fresh spinach leaves (10oz)
1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
1 tsp dried basil leaves
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
2 oz of cream cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese, divided
1-2 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil (whatever you have in the pantry)
1. Heat oven to 375
2. Cook pasta, adding spinach to boiling water for the last minute
3. Heat oil in large skillet, then add chicken and basil, and cook until chicken is no longer pink
4. Add sauce, tomatoes, cream cheese, and 1 cup of mozzarella to skillet and cook until heated through
5. Drain pasta and spinach
6. Add the chicken mixture to the pasta and mix well
