Chicken, Spinach & Blue Cheese Pasta Sauce

My friend Anne is staying with me and this is one of the first dishes I ever made her...it's quick, super tasty and you can pretend it's good for you because of the spinach!!

Serves 4
Prep Time 10 mins
Cooking Time 20 mins

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 large white onion, finely chopped
• 3 large chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground pepper
• 1 bag baby spinach leaves (170g)
• 1 tsp dried Herbs de Provence
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 8oz (227g) low fat sour cream
• 1/2 cup heavy (double) cream
• 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
• 1/3 cup of chopped fresh herbs (I grow Thyme, Basil and Oregano at home so I mixed these)
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

1. In a large non stick saucepan heat the olive oil on a medium heat and then add the garlic & onion and saute for 5 mins, stirring to prevent burning.
2. Add the chicken, salt & pepper, lemon zest and herbs de provence, cook for an additional 5 mins
3. Add the sour cream, heavy cream and blue cheese. Cook down for an additional 5 mins. The cream should reduce by half
4. Add the spinach and herbs and cover for the last 5 minutes, stirring half way through. The spinach will wilt down, don't worry if it looks alot!

Serve with some penne or spaghetti and some Garlic Garlic Garlic Bread

Enjoy
