     Creamy Chicken Penne

Category   Entrees - Maindishes
Sub Category   None
Servings   4
Preptime   40 minutes

Ingredients
6 ounces whole-wheat penne
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
1 sweet onion, diced
1 fennel bulb, cored and diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup dry sherry
 
3 tablespoons flour
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 cup low-fat milk
4 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
Black pepper

Instructions
Cook pasta according to directions. Drain thoroughly. Return to pot and cover. Meanwhile, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook, stirring once or twice until browned (4-6 minutes). Set aside.
Add remaining oil and the onion, fennel, garlic, salt and thyme to skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables begin to soften, about 5-7 minutes. Add sherry and cook, stirring often, until evaporated (1-2 minutes). Sprinkle with flour and stir to coat. Add broth and milk, increase heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Cook, stirring often, until sauce is thickened, 2-3 minutes.
Add chicken and any juice back to skillet and and cook, stirring often, until chicken is cooked throughout, about 3 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted, 30-90 seconds. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and chives. Stir chicken and sauce into pasta. Season with black pepper.
