Spinach Artichoke Pasta with Peas and Chicken

This is one of the recipes I've put together using my Tastefully Simple purchases!  Using their Artichoke & Spinach Warm Dip Mix with some typical pasta dish components adds a ton of flavor and makes this more of a special meal than "I tossed things in a pan."  I'm not getting anything from Tastefully Simple for this, just sharing a yummy recipe idea for one of their products.  Enjoy!


Ingredients

  • 1 prepared packet's worth Artichoke & Spinach Warm Dip Mix from Tastefully Simple, along with required ingredients
    • I always use Swiss cheese when I prepare mine
  • 1 chicken breast
  • 1/2 pound (1/2 box) short pasta
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Directions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°.  Season chicken with salt and pepper and bake for 25-30 minutes, until cooked through.
  2. Bring a pot of generously salted water to a boil.  Add pasta and cook according to package directions.
  3. While pasta is cooking, prepare dip according to package directions.  Set aside.
  4. Heat frozen peas according to package directions
  5. Remove chicken from oven and dice into bite-size pieces.
  6. Drain pasta when done cooking and return to pot.  Stir in dip and chicken, and mix until well combined.  Gently stir in peas.
