  • Cheese

    • 1/2 cup pecorino Romano cheese
    • 1 (5.2 ounce) package soft French cheese, such as Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs
    • 🧀 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs
    • 1/2 pound ziti pasta
    • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herb seasoning
    • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • Meat & Poultry

    • 🍗 1 cup cooked chicken

  • Vegetables

    • 🧅 1/2 cup onion, chopped
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced
    • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

  • Liquids & Dairy

    • 🧈 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
    • 🥛 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

2

Combine grated pecorino and breadcrumbs in a small bowl; set aside.

3

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add ziti, and cook until tender with a bite, about 11 minutes. Drain; reserve about 2 tablespoons of pasta water.

4

Meanwhile, melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion; cook and stir until onion begins to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.

5

Stir in garlic, herb seasoning, and red pepper flakes, and cook about 30 seconds.

6

Turn off heat. Stir in chicken, spinach, cream, Boursin, and mozzarella, stirring until cheeses are melted and ingredients are well combined.

7

Stir drained ziti into the chicken mixture. Loosen the sauce with reserved pasta water, if needed.

8

Pour the chicken and sauce mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle pecorino and breadcrumb mixture over the top.

9

Bake in the center of the preheated oven until bubbly and lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes.

10

Serve warm, optionally with hot garlic bread and a green salad.

💡 Leftover rotisserie chicken works well for this recipe.For additional flavor, you can sauté the spinach before mixing it in.If you prefer a lighter option, half-and-half can be used instead of heavy cream.This dish freezes well before baking, making it a great meal-prep option.
