Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter or margarine
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 cup hot water
  • 1 can (4 oz) mushroom pieces and stems, drained
  • 1 box Chicken Helper™ fettuccine Alfredo
  • 3 cups washed fresh spinach leaves, torn into pieces
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps

  • 1
    In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Cook chicken in butter about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until outside turns white.
  • 2
    Stir in milk, hot water, mushrooms and sauce mix (from Chicken Helper box). Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Stir in uncooked pasta (from Chicken Helper box). Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender.

    Stir in spinach. Cook over medium-high heat about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until hot. Remove from heat; uncover and let stand 5 minutes (sauce will thicken as it stands). Sprinkle with cheese.
