Easy Mediterranean Chicken Pasta Delight
Imagine a relaxing night at home with a warm, hearty dish that’s both fresh and comforting. This Mediterranean Chicken Pasta Bake brings vibrant flavors to your table with minimal fuss.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken diced
- 3 cups cooked pasta
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup spinach
- 1/2 cup feta cheese
- 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup olives sliced
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Set your oven to 375°F and lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with a touch of oil to prevent sticking.
- In a spacious bowl, mix the cooked pasta and chicken with the juicy cherry tomatoes, vibrant spinach, and olives. Pour in the avocado oil, sprinkle oregano, and add a dash of black pepper. Let the fresh scents mingle.
- Gently stir in the feta and half of the mozzarella, ensuring the cheese is well distributed for pockets of meltiness.
- Transfer the blend into your prepared dish, spreading evenly. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella on top to form a golden, bubbly layer.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is a lovely golden and the edges slightly crisp.
- Enhance with basil leaves, a zest of lemon, or fresh artichokes for an extra burst of flavor if you wish.
Notes
For a creamier texture, try adding a splash of cream before baking. If you prefer a bit of a kick, toss in a few red pepper flakes.
