Creamy Spinach Chicken Dinner

This is another new one we tried last week. I added some sharp cheddar cheese, and it gave it more of a bump up in flavor. Doug liked it the way it was.

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 Cups uncooked penne pasta
* 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes
* 1/2 Cup chopped onion
* 2 tsp olive oil
* 1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup
* 1 Cup heavy whipping cream
* 10 Cups coarsely chopped fresh spinach (I just put in a bag.)
* 2 Cups (8 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
* 1/8 tsp pepper

Directions

Cook pasta according to directions. Meanwhile, cook chicken and onion over medium heat for 5 minutes, or until juices run clear Stir in soup and cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered for 2 minutes. Stir in the spinach, cheese and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until spinach is wilted and cheese is melted. Drain pasta. Add to chicken mixture and toss to coat.
