Ingredients for Chicken, Spinach and Bows Casserole

Pasta, cooked: The original recipe called for bowtie (farfalle) pasta but you can use rotini or medium shells. You want pasta with some surface area.
Cream of Chicken Soup: If you don’t have cream of chicken soup, use cream of mushroom soup.
Frozen Chopped Spinach: When you thaw the frozen spinach, you can squeeze out the extra moisture in a paper towel or dish towel.
Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts, cooked: The original recipe calls for 4 to 5 chicken breasts, which is equal to 4 to 5 cups of cubed chicken. You can use pre-cooked diced chicken, leftover rotisserie chicken or even canned chicken breast meat instead.
Colby Jack Cheese, shredded: While Colby Jack cheese is a favorite of ours, really any kind of cheese would work, including Cheddar or Monterey Jack.
Butter
Salt and Pepper
