OVEN CHICKEN AND LINGUINE
This is delicious, easy to prepare, and great for company. Put it into the oven before your guests arrive and have the water and spinach ready to go. It comes together quick and easy. I have always used the skin on thighs and tossed the linguine with all pan juices. For a lower fat version; you could substitute skinless chicken thighs and/or remove a some of the pan drippings before adding the spinach and pasta (keep in mind that is where all the flavor is and is the sauce for the pasta). Spaghetti or whole-wheat pasta may also be substituted.

Tips:
- Use a flavorful marinade. This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor and keep it moist during baking. Some good options include Italian dressing, lemon-herb marinade, or a simple mixture of olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the dish. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, zucchini, and bell peppers.
- Don't overcook the vegetables. They should be cooked through but still have a slight crunch.
- Add some cheese. This will help to make the dish more creamy and flavorful. Some good options include Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, or cheddar cheese.
- Serve immediately. This dish is best served hot, right out of the oven.
Conclusion:
Oven-baked chicken linguine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a flavorful marinade, a variety of vegetables, and a creamy cheese sauce, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
