Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1-2 Lb skinless, boneless chicken thighs – cut into strips
• 2 cups fresh spinach leaves
• 1 4.5 oz package dry Alfredo sauce mix(McCormick Mix)
• 2 Tbsp Pesto
• 1 8 oz package dry penne pasta
• 1 Tbsp Grated Parmesan Regiano Cheese

Cooking Directions

1) Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, saute for 1 minute; then add chicken and cook for 7 to 8 minutes on each side. When chicken is close to being cooked through (no longer pink inside), add spinach and saute all together for 3 to 4 minutes.

2) Meanwhile, prepare Alfredo sauce according to package directions. When finished, stir in 2 tablespoons pesto; set aside.

3) In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Rinse under cold water and drain.

4) Add chicken/spinach mixture to pasta, then stir in pesto/Alfredo sauce. Mix well, top with cheese and serve.
