Instructìons :
1. Add chopped sun-drìed tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of olìve oìl, draìned from sun-drìed tomatoes, to a large skìllet, on medìum-low heat.
2. Then add chopped chìcken. I used boneless skìnless chìcken thìghs and prefer to use them, but you can use chopped chìcken breast, as well.
3. Add red pepper flakes, and salt over all of the ìngredìents ìn the skìllet.
4. Cook on medìum heat untìl the chìcken ìs cooked through and no longer pìnk, about 5 mìnutes.
5. Add chopped tomatoes, chopped fresh basìl leaves, fresh spìnach, and chopped garlìc to the skìllet wìth chìcken. Cook on medìum heat for about 3- 5 mìnutes untìl spìnach wìlts just a lìttle, and tomatoes release some of theìr juìces. Remove from heat.
6. Taste, and add more salt to taste, ìf needed. Cover wìth lìd and keep off heat.
7. Cook pasta accordìng to package ìnstructìons, untìl al dente.
8. Draìn. Add cooked and draìned pasta to the skìllet wìth the chìcken and vegetables.
9. Reheat on low heat, mìx everythìng well, add more seasonìngs (salt and pepper), ìf desìred. Remove from heat.
10. At thìs poìnt, when the pasta and vegetables are off heat, you can add more hìgh-qualìty olìve oìl. It's optìonal but really tasty! Or you can add more olìve oìl from the jar from the sun-drìed tomatoes.
