Creamy Chicken And Spinach
1 teaspoon canola oil
2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
3/4 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts, cubed
One 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and
squeezed dry
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups hot cooked medium pasta shells
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the
mushrooms, onion and garlic; cook, stirring as needed,
until softened, 5-6 minutes. Add the flour and cook,
stirring constantly, until the flour is lightly browned,
about 1 minute. Gradually stir in the milk and broth;
cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils and
thickens, 2-3 minutes. Stir in the chicken, spinach and
pepper; return to a boil, stirring as needed. Reduce the
heat and simmer, covered, stirring as needed, until the
chicken is cooked, 6-8 minutes. Place the pasta in a
serving bowl; add the chicken mixture and toss to
combine. Serve, sprinkled with the cheese.
