Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic crushed
  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ½ cup basil pesto
  • ¼ cup cream cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan
  • ¼ cup sundried tomatoes chopped
  • 2 cups spinach torn
  • salt and pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch cubes.
  • Heat a large, heavy-based skillet with a lid over medium-high heat. Melt the butter in the skillet, then add the chicken cubes, and brown on all sides for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and sauté for a few minutes, then pour in the pasta, chicken stock, and whole milk, giving it a good stir. Put the lid on the skillet and bring the liquid to a boil then turn it down and let simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add the basil pesto, cream cheese, Parmesan, sundried tomatoes, and spinach. Stir it all together and let it simmer for another 10 minutes. Make sure it doesn’t stick to the bottom by keeping the stove on low heat and stirring occasionally. Taste the final product and see if you need salt and pepper.
