Mediterranean Chicken Penne Recipe

Recipe By Melissas Southern Style Kitchen

This easy mediterranean inspired chicken and penne pasta dish was a happy accident in my kitchen. It was one of those moments in my kitchen where i had bits and pieces of ingredients, but i had to get creative about how to stretch them into a pasta bake. I had roasted chicken, left over pasta from another project, spinach that was closing in on it's expiration date, a handful of sun dried tomatoes, half a jar of prepared basil pesto. And a couple of jars of alfredo sauce in my pantry. Voila, dinner on the stovetop and nothing goes to waste.
