Steps:
- In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Season both sides of chicken with salt, pepper and oregano and cook until golden and no longer pink in the middle, 8 minutes per side. Transfer chicken a cutting board and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
- Make sauce: Add the white wine to deglaze the pan. When the wine is simmering, use a wooden spoon to scrape all the golden chicken bits from the pan. (They have a lot of flavor that you'll want in your sauce!)
- Add tomatoes and garlic and cook until the tomatoes soften slightly, about 2 minutes. Add cream and bring mixture back to a simmer. Add mozzarella and Parmesan and stir until the cheese melts. Season sauce with salt and pepper.
- Turn off heat and add in the cooked penne, baby spinach, parsley and red pepper flakes (if using). Toss until the pasta is evenly coated in sauce and the spinach has wilted slightly. Serve immediately.
CHICKEN FLORENTINE PASTA
Chicken Florentine Pasta in a light creamy sauce (it actually doesn't have any cream in it at all!). The spinach in this pasta is vibrant, healthy and tasty. This pasta also reheats really well - creamy as ever!

Steps:
- Put a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 or 3 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and swirl it around
- Put about .25 cup of flour on a plate. When the butter foam subsides, dredge the chicken in flour, shaking to remove the excess.
- Add the breasts to the skillet and cook so there is a constant sizzle but no burning.
- Cook, turning once, until the chicken is browned on both sides and nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Add 1 pound spinach to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until the liquid from the spinach evaporates completely.
- With the heat still on medium-high, add .5 cup of white wine to the skillet and let it bubble, stirring, until it is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Wait 30 seconds, then stir in .5 cup heavy or sour cream (yogurt is fine if you keep the heat low). Turn heat to low, stirring, until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, turn in the sauce and serve.
