Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the dry whole wheat penne according to package directions until al dente.
While pasta cooks, pat the raw chicken breast dry and season with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the seasoned chicken to the skillet and sauté for 6 to 8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the raw baby spinach to the skillet, tossing until just wilted.
Drain the pasta, reserving 2 tablespoons of pasta water, and add both to the skillet.
Stir in the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and fresh parsley, tossing well to coat the noodles in the zesty sauce before serving.
