I saw a recipe recently that reminded me I had spinach and sundried tomatoes in the freezer. Then I saw another recipe entirely for another chicken dish that I can't find. But I remembered one ingredient in that dish and happened to have purchased it. I decided to make up my own recipe for this dish and it turned out soooo good. John's no fan of spinach but he ate every bite and told me "It isn't bad!"
By the way, I dislike recipe titles that include the bulk of your ingredients but I am not creative enough today to figure out a better name for this recipe.
The recipe I'm sharing will feed three. Just double ingredients to feed more folks.
Chicken With Spinach and Sundried Tomatoes and Gnocchi
1 chicken breast
1/4 cup Italian dressing
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes (NOT in oil)
Cook on low heat in slow cooker until chicken is done.
Add:
5 ounces baby spinach (mine was frozen fresh)
1 tsp. garlic
half of a 7.5-ounce container of cream cheese with chives and onions
1/2 cup of half and half
I cooked this on medium for about an hour since my spinach was frozen, then mixed well. If you need to thin the sauce add more half and half or some of your pasta cooking water. Then add:
1/2 of a 1-pound package of Gnocchi, cooked and drained.
Heat through and serve. This serves three generous servings.
