Italian Spinach and Chicken Skillet

From: Taste of Home

Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked yolk-free whole wheat noodles
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
2 tsp olive oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of chicken soup, undiluted
3/4 cup spaghetti sauce
2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
10 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Cook noodles according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute mushrooms in oil until tender. Add garlic; saute 30 seconds longer. Stir in the tomatoes, soup, spaghetti sauce, chicken, spinach, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Cook for 5-8 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Drain noodles; toss with chicken mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.



What I did differently from the recipe:
I used canned spinach instead of frozen. Otherwise, I didn't change anything.

What I'll do differently next time:

Nothing.

Verdict:
Thumbs UP!! Whoa, this was so good. I just happened to pluck this recipe out of my "to try" pile. I had everything I needed (mushrooms frozen that I bought on discount a couple of weeks ago, spaghetti sauce leftover from lasagna that I had frozen, leftover teriyaki chicken breast I baked two nights ago) except the spinach. Then I got the spinach free today (after coupon and on sale) so it was just in the cards to make this! It was so. good. I know I used less chicken than the recipe called for and a bit more spinach but it really didn't matter. In fact, I almost wonder how this would taste as a dip... There is nothing I like more than a recipe that is so easy, quick, and straight-forward. A definite "do-again" for our household!!
