Method

Mix all dry spices in one bowl. Heat extra virgin olive oil in a large nonstick skillet on medium high. Add chicken to skillet and cook 1-2 minutes. Add onion and cook 6-8 minutes until onion starts to caramelize. Scatter spices over chicken and onion. Add garlic and butter. Cook 2-3 minutes more. Pour in wine and lemon juice. Scrape up any bits that may be stuck to pan. Cook 2 minutes. Add spinach and chicken broth. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer 8-10 minutes. Serve immediately over cooked penne pasta. Garnish liberally with chopped tomatoes and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese.

 

Notes: Chicken breast and spinach combine with Mediterranean flavors in this quick and easy dish. It combines wonderfully with the dish and gives it a completely different texture. This dish is a family favorite.
