Italian Herbed Chicken Penne

• 1 can SWANSON brand Chicken Broth with Italian Herbs
• 1 tbsp Olive Oil
• 6-8 sundried tomatoes (roasted tomatoes work too!)
• 1 lb boneless chicken breasts (cut into strips)
• 1 tbsp flour (all purpose)
• 1 cup spinach (chopped) {1/2 small box of frozen works!}
• 4 cups whole wheat penne (cooked n drained) {I love Healthy Harvest}
• 1/4 cup shredded parmesan

Microwave broth and tomatoes for 2 minutes, let stand while doing the rest of the steps.

Heat your oil and large deep skillet, and brown the chicken strips. 

Sprinkle in the flour and mix it up to make a thick rue.  Add the tomatoes and broth and stir.  As you stir the flour will thin out and make a “sauce”.  Cook until mixture begins to boil.  Add the spinach and pasta and toss to coat.  Sprinkle with cheese, remove from heat and cover and let set for about 5 minutes.  This lets the sauce absorb into the penne and the cheese to melt.

*If you cant find Swanson Italian Herbed Broth, get the regular broth and then a bottle of the Italian Herb seasonings from McCormick’s.  Add about 2 tsp per can of broth.  :)

 

ENJOY!
