Chicken with Spinach and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Ingredients: Serves 2

• 6 ounces sliced ¼ inch thick boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to season
• 2 cloves chopped garlic
• 1/8 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (I purchase the type that is marinated in olive oil)
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated about 4 tablespoons
• Cooked penne rigate pasta for 2

Preparation:

Place a pot of water on for the pasta. Once it comes to a boil, add a pinch of salt and cook the pasta for about 6 minutes. Drain.

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet to hot over medium low heat and add the chicken.  Season with pepper and a small pinch of salt. Cook for about 4 minutes and turn over. Add the garlic and sun dried tomatoes. Cook for about 3 minutes. Add the spinach, lower heat and cover the pan. Cook for 1 minute. Add the drained pasta and mix all ingredients. Top with grated cheese and mix through again.
