A simple 30-Minute , one-pot meal perfect for weeknights. One Pot Chicken and Spinach Macaroni hits all the food groups and gets a well-rounded, cheesy, delicious, protein-filled meal on the table fast.
In a large skillet over medium high heat melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the chicken breast pieces and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned, about 5 minutes.
Add the onion and cook until translucent -- approximately 2 minutes. Then add the garlic and cook for just 1 minute.
Pour in 2 cups of the chicken broth. Let it come to a simmer. Add the pasta from both boxes of the Horizon Macaroni, setting aside the cheese packets for now. When the liquid simmers again after adding the pasta, pour in the remaining 1 cup broth and 1 cup milk.
Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes.
Stir in the contents of the cheese packets and the remaining 3 tablespoons butter. Once the butter has melted and the mixture looks creamy, add the spinach.
Let the pasta cook with the spinach, stirring occasionally until the pasta is tender and the spinach is just wilted. Serve immediately.
