The cheesy creaminess of the pasta is perfect with the taste of the Buffalo chicken. I also love the convenience of the chopped spinach and that I can make the dinner even better with it. This will definitely be a regular dish on our menu rotation.

Buffalo Chicken Spinach Alfredo
Ingredients
- 1 10- ounce package Birds Eye Chopped Spinach
- 1 17- ounce package FarmRich Buffalo Style Boneless Chicken Bites
- 1 lb. of your favorite pasta I used linguine
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ¾ cup heavy cream divided
- 1 ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese I used Parmesan/Romano
- salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- In a microwavable-safe bowl, place the Birds Eye Chopped Spinach. Cover and microwave for 2 1/2 minutes. Remove and stir with a fork. Cover, return to microwave and cook for an additional 2 1/2 minutes. Place into a colander and press with a spoon to remove excess moisture.

- Place the unopened Buffalo sauce packet into a small bowl of hot water for 6 - 8 minutes. Remove from water when thawed and pour into a large bowl.
- Cut larger chicken pieces so that they are bite size and place into bowl with Buffalo sauce. Toss to completely coat.
- Boil pasta to al dente according to manufacturer's directions.
- Into a large measuring cup, pour 1/4 cup of the heavy cream. Add the two teaspoons flour, whisking constantly until smooth. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups heavy cream and mix.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter.
- Add the minced garlic and saute until fragrant, about 2 - 3 minutes.
- Slowly pour the heavy cream mixture into the skillet and whisk until hot, but not boiling.
- Add the Parmesan cheese and whisk until completely melted and not grainy.
