I had cooked chicken in the freezer and wanted something pasta-like without boiling pasta. I make this every couple weeks and the leftovers heat up nicely for lunches.

  1. 1

    Slice thinly the cabbage, onion and pepper.

  2. 2

    Heat a large heavy frying pan under medium high heat with about 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp oil. (I use regular olive oil).

  3. 3

    Put in the vegetables and stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

  4. 4

    Once they start to fry turn down the heat somewhat.

  5. 5

    Add the frozen spinach and cover to let steam.

  6. 6

    Chop the cooked chicken and the cream cheese into cubes.

  7. 7

    Once the vegetables have softened, add the chicken, cream cheese.

  8. 8

    and the cream or chicken broth or both!. Keep the cover on.
