One Skillet Chicken and Spaghetti

This is an easy, cheap, and filling meal that can be made in a short time with a minimum of fuss in one single pan.

Four chicken breasts (or any other piece of chicken you like)
1 can chopped tomatoes
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 clove garlic minced
1 tsp italian seasonings
2 cups fresh spinach
1-2 cups frozen spinach
1 tablespoon oil
Half box cooked spaghetti

Heat oil in a skillet. Brown chicken on both sides. Remove to plate. In same pan, lightly saute garlic and onion until tender. Add canned tomatoes with the juice, one full cup of water, and seasoning. Place chicken back in pan and any juices that have accumulated. Simmer until reduced by half. Add spinach and cook thoroughly. While sauce is simmering, cook spaghetti or used already cooked spaghetti. When sauce is ready, remove chicken pieces, add spaghetti to the pan and mix thoroughly. Place chicken back in pan, reduce heat to very low, cover, and keep hot until serving. Serve hot with parmesan cheese if desired. A tossed green salad and/or garlic bread go very well with this.
