PESTO CHICKEN FLORENTINE


2 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves, cut into strips
2 cups fresh spinach
1 pkg (4.5-oz) dry Alfredo sauce mix
2 tbsp pesto
1 pkg (8-oz) dry penne pasta
1 tbsp grated Romano cheese

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add garlic, saute for 1 minute; then add chicken and cook for 7 to 8 minutes on each side. When chicken is close to being cooked through (no longer pink inside), add spinach and saute all together for 3 to 4 minutes. 
 
Meanwhile, prepare Alfredo sauce according to package directions. When finished, stir in 2 tablespoons pesto; set aside. 

 
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook pasta for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Rinse under cold water and drain. 
 
Add chicken/spinach mixture to pasta, then stir in pesto/Alfredo sauce. Mix well, top with cheese and serve.
