This is a good healthy dish that I like to make for lunches at work. It's great cold. I believe it came out of some health magazine, I didn't create it.

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ounces penne pasta
10 ounces chicken breasts
4 cups spinach leaves
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 teaspoon rosemary, dried and finely chopped
2 tablespoons red bell peppers, dices and roasted
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Boil 1 1/2 quart water. Drop in the penne pasta and stir until it is al dente (about 9 to 11 minutes).
  • While the pasta cooks, sear the chicken in a skillet on medium-high (about 4-5 minutes per side). Season each side with a pinch of salt and pepper as the other side cooks.
  • Reduce skillet heat to medium. Add the spinach, beans, oil, garlic, rosemary, and bell peppers. Turn frequently until the spinach wilts (about 1-2 minutes).
  • Slice the chicken and toss it with drained pasta and the spinach-bean mixture.
  • Top each serving with 1 tbsp parmesan cheese.
