Gluten Free Chicken and Spinach Pasta

What did you have for dinner last night?  We had one of our old favorites...Chicken and Spinach served over pasta.  We started making this dish many moons ago and I am very thankful to have some of our old meals naturally gluten free....minus of course the pasta.  I am so thankful that we all love Tinkyada brown rice pasta .... it is enjoyed so much that my gluten eating husband and kids don't ask for the old stuff back.  This makes my night easier .... no double cooking pastas .... and keeps my kitchen at dinner time gluten free.



Ingredients:

4-5 chicken breasts chopped
1 package frozen spinach - defrosted and drained
2 tbsp. butter or substitute
A few drizzles of olive oil
2 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 cup vidalia onions
garlic powder

Optional:

cayenne or red pepper
capers
Tabasco




Directions:

In a large pan saute onions and garlic with oliver oil and butter (or add more if needed).  Add the chicken seasoned with some garlic powder and cayenne (optional - good if you want a little Kick to it) and cook through.  Add defrosted/drained spinach mix well and heat through. 






Serve over gluten free pasta.  Tinkayada brown rice pasta is our favorite.

Add capers on top of dish to each  ~ whoever likes capers.  Our kids are still working on the "loving capers" part.  My opinion:  They're like garlic....the more the merrier!  : )  I also love some Tabasco on top.






I worked last night, so this was my late dinner in a bowl.  It was all that was left over so if you want leftovers you might want to double the recipe!
