Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Penne

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Add Vegetables

    Add the minced garlic, sliced red and yellow bell peppers, and chopped broccolini to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the chopped oven-dried tomatoes and cooked penne pasta. Drizzle with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and mix well. Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Finish with Arugula and Artichokes

    Remove from heat and fold in the arugula and crispy artichokes. Allow the residual heat to wilt the arugula slightly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the Penne Pollo e Rucola and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.
