Ingredients

1 Tbsp. olive oil
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
6 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and cut into thin strips
1 2/3 cups water
1 tub Knorr® Homestyle Stock - Chicken
4 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, cut into cubes
1 package (5 oz.) fresh baby spinach leaves (about 6 cups)
1/2 lb. penne pasta
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°.
2. Heat olive oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken, stirring occasionally, until chicken is golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in water and Knorr® Homestyle Stock - Chicken until Stock is melted. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Stir in cream cheese and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is thoroughly cooked, about 2 minutes. Stir in spinach and cook just until spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
3. Combine chicken mixture with hot penne in large bowl. Turn into 2-quart baking dish, then evenly top with bread crumbs. Bake 10 minutes or until crumbs are golden.
