Chicken Spinach Dip Pasta Bake

If you like spinach dip, you will absolutely love this dish. It's so simple, quick, and very affordable dish to make. This was my very first time making this and it was a total hit. My husband was with me in the kitchen sitting on the table and when I served him his plate he said, "Wow, that was quick!" My kids who are 7,6, and soon to be 4 year old got 3rds! This dish will definitely added to my weekly meals. Hope you enjoy this recipe and if you get to try this recipe please let me know how yours turned out.

Ingredients

1 lb Rotini pasta

4 pieces of chicken breast

1 bottle of Alfredo sauce (I used Great Value brand)

3 pieces of garlic - chopped

5-8 oz of fresh spinach 

4 oz of cream cheese - chopped into squares

1/4 cup sour cream

Mozzarella cheese

Parmesan cheese

oil

salt

pepper

garlic powder

onion powder

Montreal Seasoning

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a pot fill it up and season water with salt and bring to a boil. Add Rotini and cook as directed on box, al dente. After the pasta is cook, drain it and let it rest. Now, lets get those chicken breast cooked. Season it with McCormick's Montreal Seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. So, oil frying pan place seasoned chicken breast and cook all the way through. 

When the chicken is done, chop into cubes or serving sizes. Add the chopped garlic and cook until for 2-3 minutes. Be sure not to burn the garlic. It will make them bitter. Add the chicken back to the pan, add Alfredo sauce and cream cheese and mix well until cream cheese is completely melted in. Add the spinach and cook until spinach is all the way cooked down. Then when the sauce is almost done add the sour cream.  Add Rotini pasta and mix well. When everything is ready and good to go place it in a baking dish. Top with Mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake it for 10 - 15 minutes and you're DONE!

So easy, so quick, and so delicious. I didn't have Parmesan cheese but I definitely recommend adding it. It will make the dish 100% tastier. And it will make this "spinach dip" an even more authentic taste to this dish. Some other suggestions on adding to this dish are...

Mushrooms

or

Artichokes

Mmm, ill have to try adding some artichokes next time I make this. Hope you try this recipe and if you do make it please comment and let me know how it turns out.

Back at it AGAIN

It's been a while and I am happy to say I am back on my blog game. Took me a minute, well actually an hour or more to think of a title of my blog. I wanted it to be an everyday blog for me. A blog where I can talk about my family, share recipes, and share tears and heartbreak, share joy and happiness...Well you get the point.

I will be renovating my blog for the next couple days or even weeks just to get it to my liking. I am not a computer junkie and lets face it my Myspace HTML days are long gone. So please bare with me on my blog site for now. I am excited to see where this blog will take me. Thanks for taking the time to read my blog post and hopefully you will enjoy the new things I have in store.

XOXO,
