Menu Plan Monday & Recipe for Zucchini, Spinach & Chicken Pasta


I am so ready for the Thanksgiving Holidays! We get the whole week off for Thanksgiving and I can’t wait! There’s so much to get caught up on, plus I want to go work at the Food Pantry that Tuesday to help give out Thanksgiving dinners to needy families.
This week is going to be another week of easy menus. I enjoy cooking, but after a day at work and then tutoring and blogging after work, I don’t have the energy most days to cook anything very extensive!

Here’s our tentative menu for the week:

Monday: Rotisserie Chicken, baked potato, and salad (a super easy meal for a Monday)

Tuesday: Use left-over chicken for the recipe below.  This is a revised recipe:

Zucchini, Spinach & Chicken Pasta

  • 2 cups cooked Barilla Plus Rotini Pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion

  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast OR canned chicken breast

  1. I love this type of casserole: tasty and is enough for an entire family. I sometimes do almost the same thing (without spinach) by using instead of pasta potatoes.

  2. Woohoo sister! I can always use a great pasta dish and this looks fantastic! Thanks sweetie!!!

    God bless ya’ll and have an amazing day!!! :o)
