Equipment

  • Skillet
  • pot

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces uncooked pasta
  • 2 breasts chicken cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 container little tomatoes cut into halves (10.5 ounce)
  • 1.5 cups fresh baby spinach packed
  • 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
 

  • Boil a large, salted pot of water for the pasta and cook it al dente according to package directions.
  • Prep your chicken. Add it to a skillet, along with the olive oil, dried oregano, and garlic powder. Cook over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring often. Chicken should be close to cooked. Take chicken out of pan and set aside.
  • Add the chicken broth, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice to the pan. Stir until the mustard has dissolved. Let it simmer for about a minute.
  • Add the tomatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. They should be falling apart and making a nice tomato sauce.
  • Add the chicken back into the pan. Let it heat through (and make sure it’s fully cooked without overcooking it).
  • Stir in the spinach and feta. Let the spinach wilt, and then toss the sauce with the pasta (add a little pasta water if you wish) and serve immediately. Optional: add red pepper flakes for a bit of heat and/or freshly grated parmesan.
