Chicken and Spinach in Feta Cream Sauce (1)

This recipe is one of our all-time family favorites. It’s my go-to meal when we have any kind of dinner guests and it’s always gets rave reviews.

Who knew that mixing a little chicken broth, Greek Yogurt (or sour cream), feta and parmesan cheese would create such fabulous flavors. You could also make this with sauteed shrimp as well.

It’s one of those recipes that you can’t get wrong. If you have pre-cooked freezer chicken, it can easily be ready in 20 minutes. If you have never pre-cooked chicken or ground meat, I highly recommend it for simple meal plans when you need something quick!

Serve it up in a pretty bowl (the one I use all the time is Wilton Armetale) and it looks like you have been slaving in the kitchen for hours.

Ingredients

(3) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded or chopped.

3 cloves of minced garlic

¼ cup of chopped onion

1 lb of fresh spinach

1 cup of chicken broth

8 oz of plain Greek yogurt or light sour cream

½ cup of crumbled feta cheese

¼ cup of parmesan cheese

Pepper to taste

1 lb of Penne or Rigatoni Pasta

ENJOY!

    I made this last night and it was a delicious base recipe. I did tweak it a by adding mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes and used chicken thighs instead of breasts.
