Ingredients

Method

Sprinkle chicken with half each of the salt and pepper. In large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp of the oil over medium-high heat; brown chicken, 4 minutes. Remove and keep warm.

Heat remaining oil in skillet over medium heat; cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, mushrooms and oregano; cook until mushrooms are slightly softened, about 4 minutes.

Pour in wine and chicken broth, scraping up browned bits. Add chicken and remaining salt and pepper; simmer until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes. Stir in spinach until wilted.

Meanwhile, in large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook pasta until al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain and return to pot, reserving 1/3 cup of the cooking liquid. Add chicken mixture and reserved liquid; toss to combine. Serve topped with feta cheese.
