Ingredients

• 3/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes
• 3/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 3/4 cup fresh spinach
• 1 cup flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 12-ounce box of penne pasta

2. Pound chicken breast to about 1/2 inch thickness and cut into strips horizontally, about 2 inches wide and 2 inches long. In the meantime, add olive oil and butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Dredge chicken strips in the flour mixture and then add to the skillet (make sure the butter is melted and the oil is to temperature). Cook for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side an additional 3-5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from oil and keep warm.

Serve immediately. Dish should be warm.
