I made this tonite and it was great.. I figured I would share it if anyone wants it.. it may be listed somewhere on here already, but I cant search this board... lol

Pesto Chicken Florentine

2 tbpsn olive oil

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into strips

2 cups fresh spinach leaves

1 package dry Alfredo sauce mix (I used the Mayacamas)

2 tbspn pesto

1 (8oz) package dry penne pasta

1 tbspn grated cheese

Heat oil in large skillet over med heat. Add garlic, saute for 1 minute; add the chicken cook for 7-8 minutes on each side ( I made my chicken into bite size pieces and just cooked them thru): add spinach and saute all together for 3-4 minutes (until wilted)

meanwhile, prepare alfredo sauce according to package directions. When finished, stir in 2 tblspns pesto, set aside.

in a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente. rinse under cold water and drain.

add chicken/spinach mixture to pasta, then stir in pesto/alfredo sauce.

mix well, top with cheese and serve.

thats it. my son loved it... easy!
