1 clove garlic, minced

4 cups water
2 packs Knorr Sidekicks Marinara Pasta Side Dish
4 cups baby spinach leaves
1/4 cup heavy cream

Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken, seasoned with salt and pepper if desired, and cook, tossing occasionally, until chicken is lightly browned and thoroughly cooked, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir 30 seconds. Remove to bowl and set aside.
Add tomatoes to skillet and toss over high heat 1 minute. Stir in water and bring to a boil.
