Notes

This recipe calls for chicken tenderloins. However, as I've stated in other chicken Crock Pot recipes, you can easily swap out the chicken for another cut. Got chicken breasts? Great. Just cut them into smaller pieces for this dish. Picked up boneless skinless chicken thighs on sale? No problem. Just substitute them for the tenderloins.
If you don't feel like serving this with pasta, you can skip the step that has you boiling the pasta on the stovetop. Instead, just enjoy the chicken and spinach you've cooked in the crock and serve it as a wrap, on top of salad or with another already-cooked side.
