Mediterranean Chicken Bowties



This delicious dinner was a big hit at my house! I hope you like it as much as we did!

Ingredients:
1lb of bowtie pasta
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 a jar of sundried tomatoes
1 can of artichoke hearts
1 can of whole black olives
2 handfuls of fresh baby spinach
4oz of feta cheese diced or crumbled
1/2 a cup of white wine
2 tablespoons of olive oil
2 cloves of garlic
1/4 cup of toasted pine nuts
salt and pepper to taste

Directions:
Bring a large pot of water to boil on the stove for the pasta.  While water is heating dice two chicken breasts into bite size pieces.  Heat non-stick skillet over medium high heat.  Add olive oil and chicken to skillet and cook until chicken begins to brown.  Lower heat to medium and add garlic.  Sautee chicken and garlic for a minute or two, being careful not to burn the garlic.  Add white wine, lower heat to medium low and cover chicken with a lid.  When water comes to a boil add a tablespoon of salt to the water and the bowtie pasta.  Cook pasta for about 7 minutes.  While pasta is cooking add the sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts and olives to the skillet with the chicken.  When pasta is al dente, drain and add to the chicken, and remove from heat.  Toss in two handfuls of baby spinach and cover for a minute or so until spinach is wilted.  Transfer pasta to a large serving bowl and garnish with feta and toasted pine nuts.  Enjoy!
