CHICKEN AND PASTA BAKE

Arriving in Rockhampton after a 4 hour drive to spend a couple of days with Tracy, I thought of a couple of options for dinner that night until she said she had it covered.  This is fast, inexpensive and easy to do in a few minutes.

500 grams of diced raw chicken thigh fillet
2 zucchini diced
1 cup red capsicum diced
1/2 cup chopped shallots
1 cup cauliflower or broccoli flowerettes
1 x 300gr pack sour cream and chives pasta sauce
1 1/2 cups water
3/4 cup milk
4 cups baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup grated cheese
2 tab parmesan cheese
handful of basil leaves torn
black pepper

Preheat oven to 190' and fry chicken til lightly browned.  Add zucchini, capsicum, shallots, cauli or broccoli, pasta mix, water, milk and pepper and cook for about 10 minutes.
Add spinach, pour into baking dish, sprinkle with grated cheese and parmesan cheese and bake for about 20 mins.  Scatter with basil leaves just before serving with a great tossed green salad.
