Creamy Spinach and Chicken bowties


I haven't made this in years and couldn't find the recipe anywhere so I'm winging it. I bought a huge bag of spinach and have to use it before it goes bad. This means lots of breakfast smoothies and spinach salads. The turnout was delicious and my boyfriend who doesn't like cooked spinach ate it all! I put the pictures in order so you can see what it should look like as you're going.

Prep Time-15 min

Ingredients:
Baking Dish 9x9 or 9x13
3 Chicken Breast (cooked and cubed)

1 can Fat-free Cream of Chicken Soup

1.5 tbs Basil and Oregano

   (Meanwhile, boil your bow tie pasta)
2. Add 1 teaspoon of minced garlic to the skillet and seasonings on top of the chicken.
3. After your chicken is cooked add the fresh spinach on top until it shrinks and is soft.
