One dish dinners.
They scream simplicity. They scream ease. And they scream quick.
5 ingredients. Most of which you likely already have in your pantry and freezer.
20-ish minutes. Or however long it takes you to cook the spaghetti and then toss it with the other ingredients.
You could serve it with a side of bread, or simple side salad…but it really doesn’t need it!
And I’m working on an “all in one saucepan” spaghetti…with broken noodles cooking in the sauce…but until it’s perfected, we’ll have to settle for this “cook the spaghetti, drain, add the mix-ins and then add the spaghetti again” method!
Chicken Spaghetti with Spinach
Ingredients
1 lb. spaghetti noodles
1 15 oz. can diced tomatoes with roasted garlic (any “flavor” will do)
2 10 oz. boxes frozen spinach
2 cups cooked and shredded chickenOptional: Shredded or grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Directions
- In a large Dutch oven or saucepan, boil the spaghetti noodles as directed. Drain and let sit in colander while you prepare the sauce. Do not rinse.
- Meanwhile, cook the spinach in the microwave as directed. Drain off the liquid, but don’t squeeze it dry.
- Return the warm Dutch oven or saucepan to the burner and add the diced tomatoes with their juices, the spinach and remaining liquid, and the cooked and shredded chicken. Stir until well combined. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Reintroduce the spaghetti noodles and toss well. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese before serving.
I want to make this! 🙂
Yum — we’ll make this next week — might replace the chicken with spicy sausage!
We’ll be having this next week. I like to do something with spaghetti every week but change it up for variety. I think this will be a hit with the family.
This looks great! I think we will try it next week since I have almost everything for this already. I even have some cooked and shredded chicken in the freezer waiting for a meal like this!
i’d def. want to make this. it’s so simple, and i have everything in my pantry except the spinach. this would be a great way to get more greens in my diet.
This is the one I think I’ll try out next week. I’ve got cooked, shredded chicken and spinach in the freezer. Sounds good to me!
I think I may try this recipe either this week or next. I have all the ingredients for it already!
We’ll be making this next week! I have all the ingredients in the house and this looks yummy and nutritious!
Will try this chicken spaghetti with spinach this weekend!
Do you think fresh spinach would work? It would probably wilt down with the indirect heat from the cooked pasta.
Kathy,
I think that would totally work!

I’m going to make this next week then! We always keep bagged spinach around and use it as “lettuce” for salads, on tacos, sandwiches, etc.
Does this count as my entry for the one week of groceries? I’d love to have $15 extra dollars in the grocery budget one week!
This looks like a great quick meal. I plan to make this next week.
This is on our meal plan for next week. Yum!
