Chicken Spinach Pasta with Bacon

This post contains affiliate links. See full disclosure here. 

I love pasta and could eat it almost every day but unfortunately, pasta is not the healthiest meal to serve your family. Since my family and I love all things pasta I try and put a healthier spin on it by adding vegetables to it. Instead of regular chicken pasta, I like to prepare Chicken Spinach Pasta with Bacon. In my opinion, since spinach is a superfood it is perfect for that healthier spin. 

Chicken Spinach Pasta with Bacon does not use many ingredients and the ingredients that it does require are simple. 

• 1 pound of cooked chicken, diced
• 2 cloves of garlic, diced
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2/3 cups milk
• 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
• 8 oz fettuccine pasta
• 2 cups of fresh spinach
• 5-6 strips of crispy bacon, crumbled
• Salt/ pepper to taste

This is a relatively easy meal to make. My biggest advice is to not cook the noodles too early because they may dry out. It’s important that you plan everything perfectly. 

• Prepare chicken with diced garlic (baked, grilled or stove top, however, you prefer- season to taste)
• Prepare bacon, drain grease, and crumble
• Add cream and milk to a skillet and heat to a boil. Stir periodically so it does not burn
• Once the cream and milk begin to boil, lower to a simmer and stir in the grated cheese and bacon. 
• The sauce should begin to thicken a bit
• Cook pasta according to package directions and drain
• Add the spinach to the pasta and then immediately add the cream and milk mixture
• Stir everything together
• Serve

This Chicken Spinach Pasta with Bacon is a huge hit in my house. My youngest child frowns on vegetables but since spinach does not have a taste she did not even know she was eating it when I snuck her a bite with the spinach.
