White Wine Cream Pasta with Chicken and Spinach

For the Pasta:
10 oz. Mostaccioli or Penne Noodles
1 Tbsp. Butter
1/2 C. Yellow Onion, Chopped
2 Garlic Cloves, Minced
1/3 C. White Wine (I used Chardonnay)
1 1/2 C. Heavy Cream
1/2 Tbsp. Oregano, Dried
1/2 Tbsp. Parsley, Dried
A Pinch of Salt
1/2 C. Shredded Four Cheese Italian
Seasoned Chicken (recipe follows)
1 C. Spinach leaves

Prepare noodles according to directions on the box. Set aside. Melt butter on medium heat. Add garlic and onions and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add white wine and let the alcohol cook off for another couple of minutes before adding the heavy cream. Increase heat to medium high. Cook for 5 minutes, until mixture begins to thicken and add the oregano, parsley and salt. Reduce heat to low and add the cheese and seasoned chicken. Mix well. Toss noodles in cream mixture and remove from heat. Add spinach and mix thoroughly before serving.

For the Seasoned Chicken:

1 Chicken Breast, Sliced in half
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
1 Garlic Clove, Minced
1/2 Tbsp. Parsley, Dried
Pinch of Freshly Cracked Black Pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat chicken in olive oil. Sprinkle on remaining ingredients. Place in oven for 15 minutes, flip and cook for another 10 minutes. Chop into small pieces before adding into pasta.
