Call me Popeye because I love my spinach! And you'll love it too when it's surrounded by creamy pasta and chicken.
1-1/2 cups uncooked penne pasta
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-in. cubes
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 tsp olive oil
1 can (10-3/4 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 cup heavy whipping cream
10 cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach
2 cups (8 oz) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1/8 tsp pepper
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.
Stir in the soup and cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Stir in the spinach, cheese and pepper; cook for 1-2 minutes or until spinach is wilted and cheese is melted.
Drain pasta; add to chicken mixture and toss to coat.
