Garlic Herb Chicken Penne Pasta
Sautéed chicken breast and chickpea penne tossed in a fragrant garlic-herb oil with wilted spinach and bursting cherry tomatoes for a vibrant, savory finish.
INGREDIENTS
4 oz Chicken breast
2 oz Chickpea penne pasta
2 tsp Extra virgin olive oil
2 clove Garlic
1 cup Fresh baby spinach
0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes
1 tbsp Grated parmesan cheese
0.5 tsp Dried oregano
0.25 tsp Sea salt
0.25 tsp Black pepper
1 tbsp Fresh parsley
PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the chickpea penne according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the pasta cooking water before draining.
While the pasta boils, dice the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and season evenly with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet, sautéing for 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the tomatoes begin to soften.
Add the fresh baby spinach to the skillet and toss for 1 minute until just wilted.
Add the cooked penne and the reserved pasta water to the skillet, tossing well to ensure the pasta is coated in the garlic-herb oil and juices.
Remove from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese and finely chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while warm.
