How to Make Chicken Penne Florentine

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add 1 cup sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until tender.
  4. Stir in 10 ounces fresh spinach, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Sauté for another 4 minutes, or until spinach wilts.
  5. While the vegetables cook, place 8 ounces of cottage cheese in a food processor and blend until completely smooth.
  6. In a large bowl, combine the spinach mixture, blended cottage cheese, 2 cups cooked penne pasta, 1.5 cups cooked chicken (diced), 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/2 cup cream of mushroom soup. Mix well to combine.
  7. Pour the mixture into a greased 2-quart baking dish.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
