Provided by Mercedes Sandoval

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 lb chicken breast, diced
2 carrots, sliced
1 zucchini, sliced
1 yellow squash, sliced
4 cups fresh kale, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 cups whole grain whole wheat rotini pasta, cooked al dente according to package instructions
2 teaspoons dried oregano, divided
2 teaspoons salt, divided
2 teaspoons pepper, divided

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium-high heat.
  • Add in diced chicken breast, followed by 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon oregano. Cook until no longer pink. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  • Add carrots to skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until tender.
  • Add in zucchini and yellow squash, and sauté for an additional minute until they become slightly translucent.
  • Add in the kale, followed by 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Sauté until kale begins to wilt.
