Ingredients

• 1 package of Boursin cheese (Garlic & Herb or Shallot are my favorites)

• Garlic powder

• Onion powder

• Salt & pepper

• Italian seasoning

• A pinch of paprika

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F.

2. Lightly spray a baking dish to prevent sticking.

3. Add the baby tomatoes and the Boursin cheese to the baking dish.

4. Season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of paprika.

5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the tomatoes are soft and the cheese is melty and bubbly.

6. While the cheese bake is in the oven:

• Pan-fry the chicken breasts until fully cooked, seasoning however you prefer.

• Boil your pasta according to package instructions.

7. Once everything is cooked, combine the pasta, chicken, baked cheese mixture, and spinach. Stir until the spinach wilts and everything is evenly coated.

8. Serve warm and enjoy .
