Butter a 2 quart baking dish. Set aside.
Cook pasta according to the instructions on the packaging. Drain
and keep warm.
Dice chicken, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour over
chicken and toss to coat.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add chicken and cook until no
longer pink.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, mix together sour cream, cream
cheese, Ranch mix, half and half and spinach.
Add cooked pasta and chicken to the spinach mixture and stir all
together. Transfer the mixture into the prepared dish.
At this point, you can cover the dish with saran wrap and refrigerate
until ready to serve.
If serving right away, top the dish with cheese and bake for 10
minutes at 375 degree F oven. The cheese should be melted. You
can then turn the oven to broiler (on low setting) and broil for 2 to
3 minutes or until the cheese bubbles up and gets golden brown
spots.
Let stand in room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
