Greek Chicken Penne
Catelli Classic Penne Rigate

Ingredients

  • 1 pkg (500 g) Catelli® Classic Penne Rigate
  • 1 cup (250 mL) Greek-style or herbed vinaigrette, divided
  • 1 lb (500 g) Sliced chicken breast
  • 2 tsp (10 mL) Dried oregano leaves
  • 1 Red onion, sliced
  • 1 Each large red and orange pepper, sliced
  • 1 cup (250 mL) Crumbled feta cheese
  • Slivered black olives (optional)

Cooking Steps

Step 1

Cook penne according to package directions.

Step 2

Meanwhile, set a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) dressing, chicken and oregano; stir-fry until golden and no pink remains. Remove to a plate. Add 2 tbsp (30 mL) additional dressing, onions and peppers to skillet; stir-fry until tender-crisp.

Step 3

Add hot cooked penne, chicken and remaining dressing; toss to combine. Sprinkle with feta and olives (if using) to serve.

Tips
  • Replace the chicken breast with slices of steak or pork tenderloin.
  • Prepare a vegetarian variation using rinsed and drained chickpeas or cannellini beans, sold in cans, and omitting the meat cooking step.
  • Leftovers are just as delicious served cold and are easy to take to school or the office. Add a small amount of vinaigrette to enhance the dish when you have it.
  • For best results, do not use salad dressings that contain large pieces of feta cheese.
