CHICKEN SPINACH TOMATO PASTA

Hi y’all! It’s Susanne from New South Charm back again this month with another great recipe your family is going to love! This month I’m sharing an easy, family friendly, healthy recipe that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Back at the first of the year my husband and I committed to making better choices in our eating habits. For two people who have a deep and abiding love for tacos this commitment hasn’t aways been an easy one. But I’m proud to say we’re doing it and making it work for us.

One of the ways we are making this new way of eating work for us is making changes to recipes we love like this Loaded Taco Salad. This Chicken Spinach Tomato Pasta is one of those recipes.

Now when you think pasta you probably think heavy sauces and lots of starchy carbs but this recipe is light and made with whole wheat pasta. Plus, lots of great flavors from sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach. Trust me this is a pasta dish you’ll make again and again!
