chicken spaghetti with spinach

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!
