Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your Greek penne and chicken dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp bell peppers, and tender chicken breasts.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and vegetables, be sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can brown properly. If you overcrowd the pan, the food will steam instead of fry and you'll end up with a mushy dish.
  • Season the chicken and vegetables well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of salt and pepper to season the chicken and vegetables. This will help to bring out their flavor and make the dish more delicious.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in Greek cooking, so be sure to use a good quality oil that has a rich, fruity flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Penne pasta should be cooked al dente, meaning it should be tender but still have a slight bite to it. If you overcook the pasta, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.

Conclusion:

Greek penne and chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
