Fill a large pot with the water and a pinch of salt, bring to a boil, and cook the pasta for 10 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
While the water comes to a boil, heat half the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with half the salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, flipping once halfway, until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan. Done when opaque in the center, 165°F.
In the same skillet, add the remaining oil, bell pepper, and onion. Sauté for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Reduce heat to medium. Add the marinara, spinach, cooked chicken, and cooked pasta to the skillet. Season with the remaining salt and pepper. Toss for 2 minutes until the spinach is wilted and the sauce is bubbling.
