Categories Chicken Pasta Tomato Roast Low Fat Quick & Easy Feta Arugula Healthy Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 12-ounce bags cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 large garlic cloves, chopped
3/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
2 cups shredded roasted chicken breasts without skin (from purchased roast chicken)
8 ounces penne pasta
6 cups arugula leaves
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 3 ounces)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 475°F. Mix cherry tomatoes, oil, garlic, and crushed red pepper on rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until tomatoes are soft and beginning to brown in spots, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Transfer tomato mixture, including any juices, from sheet to large skillet. Add chicken to skillet and simmer until heated through, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Ladle out 1/4 cup pasta cooking water and reserve. Drain pasta; return to pot.
Add tomato mixture, arugula, and reserved 1/4 cup pasta cooking water to pasta; toss over medium heat just until arugula begins to wilt, about 30 seconds. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer pasta to bowl. Sprinkle with feta cheese and serve.

Tips:

To save time, use a food processor to quickly chop the bell peppers, onion, and garlic.
If you don't have a food processor, be sure to chop the vegetables very finely so that they cook evenly.
For a spicier dish, use a hotter variety of bell pepper, such as a cayenne or jalapeño pepper.
If you don't have penne pasta, you can use another short pasta shape, such as rotini or fusilli.
Serve the roasted pepper chicken penne with a side of crusty bread or a green salad.

This roasted pepper chicken penne is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. The combination of roasted peppers, chicken, and penne pasta is a surefire hit with the whole family. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy dinner, give this recipe a try.
