Wheat Pasta with Chicken and Spinach Sauce

This is Heather...

Tonight I recreated a dish I actually made up a little while ago, but in the spirit of this blog, I made it healthier. Try it at your house and see if it is as big a hit as it was at ours:)

1 box whole wheat bow tie or penne pasta
1/4 c butter
3 huge handfulls of fresh baby spinach
1 tea minced garlic
3/4 c grated parmesean
5-6 froz chicken tenders

1 tea lemon juice

Start the pot of water boiling for the pasta. To cook wheat pasta you need to make sure you have plenty of water so it helps to start it first.

Put the froz tenders in a skillet with 2 tea of oil to coat bottom of pan. When hot add 2/3 c of water and put the lid on. Shortly after, season well with garlic salt.

When chicken is finshed cooking through (about 2-3 min on each side) and browned take chicken out and to the drippings add butter and minced garlic. Saute untill the garlic is soft and add the spinach. Cook the spinach down and add a the lemon juice. When the spinach is soggy, pour the whole mixture into the food processor and blend untill smooth. Toss on top of the now cooked noodles and stir untill evenly coated. Now dump in the parmesean and chunked chicken... Serve hot!!
