• Butter a 2 quart baking dish. Set aside.
• Cook pasta according to the instructions on the packaging. Drain and keep warm.
• Dice chicken, season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour over chicken and toss to coat.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add chicken and cook until no longer pink.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, mix together sour cream, cream cheese, Ranch mix, half and half and spinach.
