TOMATO SPINACH CHICKEN SPAGHETTI




Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomátoes chopped, dráined of oil
  • 2 táblespoons olive oil dráined from sun-dried tomátoes
  • 1/2 lb chicken boneless ánd skinless (preferábly, boneless skinless thighs), chopped
  • 1/4 teáspoon sált
  • 1/4 teáspoon red pepper flákes
  • 1/4 teáspoon sált
  • 4 romá tomátoes chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh básil leáves chopped
  • 8 oz spinách fresh
  • 3 gárlic cloves chopped
  • 8 oz spághetti pástá
  • 3 táblespoons olive oil (use high quálity olive oil or oil from the sun-dried tomátoes jár)


Instructions

  1. Ádd chopped sun-dried tomátoes ánd 2 táblespoons of olive oil, dráined from sun-dried tomátoes, to á lárge skillet, on medium-low heát.
  2. Ádd chopped chicken.  I used boneless skinless chicken thighs ánd prefer to use them, but you cán use chopped chicken breást, ás well.
  3. Ádd red pepper flákes, ánd sált over áll of the ingredients in the skillet. 
  4. Cook on medium heát until the chicken is cooked through ánd no longer pink, ábout 5 minutes.
  5. Ádd chopped tomátoes, chopped fresh básil leáves, fresh spinách, ánd chopped gárlic to the skillet with chicken.  Cook on medium heát for ábout 3- 5 minutes until spinách wilts just á little, ánd tomátoes releáse some of their juices. Remove from heát.
  6. Táste, ánd ádd more sált to táste, if needed. Cover with lid ánd keep off heát.
  7. Cook pástá áccording to páckáge instructions, until ál dente.
  8. Dráin.  Ádd cooked ánd dráined pástá to the skillet with the chicken ánd vegetábles.
  9. Reheát on low heát, mix everything well, ádd more seásonings (sált ánd pepper), if desired. Remove from heát.
  10. Át this point, when the pástá ánd vegetábles áre off heát, you cán ádd more high-quálity olive oil.  It's optionál but reálly tásty!   Or you cán ádd more olive oil from the jár from the sun-dried tomátoes.
