Chicken Feta Spinach Pasta
Ingredients:
- 8 ounces uncooked pasta
- 2 chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/3 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 (10.5 ounce) container of little tomatoes (grape, cherry, etc.), cut into halves
1.5 cups (packed) fresh baby spinach
3.5 ounces feta (cubed and packed in oil and herbs)
- Red pepper flakes to taste (optional)
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese to taste (optional)
Instructions:
- Cook the Pasta:
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken:
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken pieces, oregano, and garlic powder.
Cook the chicken until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
- Make the Sauce:
Add the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the skillet with the chicken. Stir well to combine.
Let the mixture simmer for a few minutes until slightly reduced.
- Add Tomatoes and Spinach:
Stir in the halved tomatoes and fresh spinach. Cook until the spinach is wilted and the tomatoes are softened, about 2-3 minutes.
- Combine with Pasta and Feta:
Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss everything together.
Gently stir in the feta cubes so they begin to melt slightly into the pasta.
- Season and Serve:
Season with red pepper flakes and freshly grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
