A delightful blend of juicy marinated chicken, vibrant cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, and tangy feta over angel hair pasta, perfect for quick weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz angel hair pasta
  • 1 lb juicy marinated chicken
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1/2 cup olives, sliced
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
  2. Return the empty pot to medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the garlic until fragrant, about 30–45 seconds, taking care not to brown it.
  3. Add the marinated chicken to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C), about 6–8 minutes depending on thickness.
  4. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, spinach, olives, and lemon juice. Cook just until the tomatoes soften and the spinach wilts, about 2–3 minutes.
  5. Put the cooked angel hair back into the pot. Toss gently to combine, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to marry the sauce and keep the pasta glossy.
  6. Serve immediately topped with crumbled feta cheese.

Notes

For a vegetarian twist, use chickpeas instead of chicken or swap the spinach for kale.
