Cook the whole wheat penne in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt, pepper, and dried oregano, then grill over medium-high heat until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Slice the grilled chicken into thin, bite-sized strips and halve the cherry tomatoes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the extra virgin olive oil and fresh lemon juice to create a light vinaigrette.
Add the cooled pasta, grilled chicken, baby spinach, and cherry tomatoes to the bowl.
Toss all ingredients thoroughly until the spinach is slightly wilted and the pasta is evenly coated with the dressing.
