Creamy Chicken with Rice and Spinach

The other day I had a few ingredients that all needed to get used up and I had no idea how to combine them or anything else. If you've never visited www.kraftfoods.com I highly recommend their site: They have a great search engine feature. You put in your 3 main ingredients and it gives you recipes.

We got this one; which I did end up changing a bit.

Ingredients
1/4 cup Salad Dressing (I had House Italian...it's just to give it a bit of flavor)
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips (I did 3 large breasts)
2 cups cooked white and wild rice (from The Market Place)
8oz cream cheese, cubed
1 pkg. (8 oz.) baby spinach leaves
1 large tomato, chopped
2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese
Milk, as needed

Prepare 2 cups cooked rice in chicken broth, put aside.
Cook chicken strips through, in salad dressing.
Add cooked rice to chicken, stir.
Add in cream cheese stirring to melt and combine.
Add baby spinach, put lid on and allow spinach to wilt....stir.
At this point you might want to add some milk to up the cream factor.
Add chopped tomatoes and serve!

We really liked this meal, and actually ended up with enough for a second dinner! It was great...everything in one pot and relatively healthy and certainly delicious!

Enjoy!
