Instructions
Prepare the chicken
Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Cook the pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the whole grain spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente.
Cook the chicken
Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces and cook until golden brown and cooked through.
Add tomatoes and cook
Add halved cherry tomatoes to the pan with chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes until tomatoes start to soften and release juices.
Add spinach and wilt
Add fresh spinach to the pan and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Combine pasta and sauce
Drain the cooked pasta and add it directly to the pan with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together.
Add herbs and cheese
Remove from heat, add torn fresh basil and half of the grated parmesan. Toss gently to combine.
Serve
Divide the pasta between plates and top with the remaining parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
Storage
Store in airtight container. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the pasta.
