Hello! I hope your Monday treated you well this week. I had such a hard time getting out of bed this morning to go to work. How I wish for just one more weekend day. As I'm sure we all wish for that lol!
Today's recipe is ah-mazing!! I came up with it, spur of the moment, when my sister wanted to come over for dinner one evening. It comes together so quickly using pre-cooked chicken and the flavor is incredible. We ate way more than we should have, but there was still a half a pan left. I left it on the counter to cool since it was still piping hot and hopped on the computer for an hour. I couldn't keep my eyes open after awhile, so I decided to go to bed. The next morning, I walked out of my bedroom and smelled garlic. I knew then, that I forgot to put the leftovers in the fridge. UGH! I hate when that happens!! I was so looking forward to leftovers for lunch that day!! Make this recipe, cuz you'll love it, but don't forget about the leftovers, like I did!! Enjoy!!

This looks fabulous. I love the flavors of chicken, spinach, and Alfredo sauce.
ReplyDeleteI also forget to put leftovers in the fridge more often than I'd like.
Oh this sounds delicious. I'm pinning the recipe so I can make this. Happy Canada Day!
ReplyDeleteI pinned this and will be making it as soon as we are over our heatwave. I have forgotten and left something out over night and that is a horrible feeling. It usually happens with something that is too hot to go in the frig and then I forget. ugh!
ReplyDeleteThis looks delish! I will definitely be making this some time soon...:) Thanks for sharing the recipe!
