Chicken & Spinach Pasta image

"One of my favorites! Can't remember where I got this recipe, but I make it often. You can also double the amounts and freeze the leftovers. I enjoy it because it's tasty enough-and thick enough-to eat even without the pasta!" Pamela Ziemer - Hutchinson, MN

This dish was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better. I would also recommend adding some additional vegetables, such as mushrooms or bell peppers.
