Dijon Chicken Pasta with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Spinach

This creamy dijon chicken pasta with sun dried tomatoes and spinach is the perfect meal any night of the week!

The other day when I made the Creamy Dijon Chicken I decided to make it again, but this time in pasta form with some other things I found in my fridge.

The sun dried tomatoes really added a nice sweetness up against the tangy Dijon sauce. I’ll definitely be making this again! 🙂

I love pasta and am always trying to come up with new dishes. It’s such an easy meal to get creative with. 

I like using whole grained Dijon mustard mainly because I think it adds more flavor, but the smooth variety will just as good. The sun dried tomatoes I have also came in a herbed oil so if you can find those, they add even more flavor to this dish! If you can’t find herbed oil sun dried tomatoes than just add in a tablespoon of italian seasoning or any fresh herbs you have.

I think this would make a great pasta salad too, but I ate it when it was hot. If you decided to go the pasta salad route though, let me know how it turns out. 🙂

Here’s how to make it…
