Butter a 2 quart baking dish. Set aside.
Cook pasta according to the instructions on the
packaging. Drain and keep warm.
Dice chicken, season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle flour over chicken and toss to coat.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add chicken and
cook until no longer pink.
Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, mix together
sour cream, cream cheese, Ranch mix, half and half
and spinach.
Add cooked pasta and chicken to the spinach
mixture and stir all together. Transfer the
mixture into the prepared dish.
At this point, you can cover the dish with saran
wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
If serving right away, top the dish with cheese
and bake for 10 minutes at 375 degree F oven. The
cheese should be melted. You can then turn the
oven to broiler (on low setting) and broil for 2
to 3 minutes or until the cheese bubbles up and
gets golden brown spots.
Let stand in room temperature for 10 minutes
before serving.
