Ingredients Method Nutrition Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 oz penne pasta
  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Add chicken breast pieces to the pot, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the penne pasta, chicken broth, oregano, and Kalamata olives. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and cover.
  4. After 12-15 minutes, check the pasta for doneness; it should be al dente. Stir in the spinach and feta until creamy, about 2 minutes.
  5. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Allow to cool slightly before serving, garnishing with extra feta and olives if desired.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy the creamy, tangy flavors that meld beautifully together, taking each bite with a hint of briny goodness from the olives.
