Ingredients

8 ounce chicken breast (cooked, diced)
2 cup pre-cooked pasta
1.5 cup Alfredo sauce
0.25 cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained and chopped)
2 cup fresh spinach (roughly chopped)
0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
2 slice garlic bread (pre-made, microwaveable type)

Instructions

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the cooked chicken breast, pre-cooked pasta, jarred Alfredo sauce, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, stirring halfway through, until heated through and bubbling.
Stir in the fresh spinach and grated Parmesan cheese until the spinach wilts slightly.
While the pasta heats, microwave the garlic bread according to package directions, typically 30-60 seconds per slice.
Serve immediately with the warm garlic bread on the side.

Leftovers keep well for 2-3 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For best results, reheat gently in the microwave.
