I sliced up all the chicken first. I didn't have an onion or garlic so I decided to use dried onions and garlic powder. It seemed to work out just fine.
I used 3/4 cup of dried onion. I really like onion so this was fine for me, but it was really too much. If I make it again I would only do a half a cup or maybe even just a 1/3...
After the chicken was brown I dumped the onions in with some more oil.
After they had softened a bit I added the garlic powder. The bottle told me how much to add for an equivalent for a clove. Next I added the 2 tablespoons of flour. Finally I added the four cups of 1% milk and a bay leaf.
I let it simmer and thicken.
I added the chicken back in at this point. I cooked it for about a minute to finish cooking it through.
I added the spinach. I used a dish towel to "wring" all the moisture out of it.
I added parmesan and the noodles which I had cooked while the white sauce simmered.
Loaded the whole think into a 8x8" pan.
I topped it mozzeralla cheese and baked it for 15 minutes. All done!
The recipe says it only make 4 servings. Four servings!! The square below is a sixth of the recipe, much more my size.
I worked up the calories for six servings.
I really like this. My chicken ended up being dry even though I thought I'd barely cooked it. I don't know if it was over cooked or if it was just dry chicken... If you like pasta, you'll like this recipe.
