Chicken and Vegetable Pasta

One of those dishes that you make with whatever you have in your kitchen. Mix and match veggies in this pasta with whatever you have on hand. This is what I made for dinner tonight and it came out yummy!

1 box of your favorite short pasta (I used whole grain penne)
2 chicken breasts, cubed
salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning
2 T olive oil
12 cherry tomatoes, halved
1 zucchini, halved, then cut into thin strips
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 c. spinach leaves, shredded
4 oz. goat cheese
garlic salt and red pepper flakes, season to taste

Cook pasta according to directions on box. In skillet, heat a little olive oil then add chicken. Sprinkle chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. When chicken is no longer pink on inside, take out of pan until a little later. In same skillet, heat a little more olive oil. Add zucchini, garlic, and tomatoes on medium heat. Saute for about 5 minutes. Add chicken and drained pasta into skillet and toss. Turn heat off then toss in spinach leaves until they wilt. Add in goat cheese until creamy and season with garlic salt and red pepper flakes.
