INGREDIENTS
3 oz Chicken Breast
1 cup Whole Wheat Ziti (cooked)
2 tbsp Low-Fat Cream Cheese
1 cup Spinach
1/2 cup Tomato Sauce
1/4 cup Part-Skim Mozzarella
Salt and Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cook the whole wheat ziti according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.
Season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Sauté in a non-stick pan over medium heat until fully cooked and lightly browned. Once cooled slightly, dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, diced chicken, tomato sauce, and raw spinach.
Add the low-fat cream cheese to the mixture and stir until evenly distributed; the warmth of the pasta and chicken will help it soften and meld with the sauce.
Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella evenly on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve immediately.
