1/2 of a medium jalapeno, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced

Chicken Artichoke Pasta



Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast, cubed
1 can black olives
1 can artichoke hearts
3 roma tomatoes, diced
5 cloves garlic
1 small onion, chopped
handful of spinach
EVOO
pepper
spaghetti squash


Directions

Heat about 2 Tbs EVOO in a skillet over medium heat. Add cubed chicken, 3 cloves minced garlic, and pepper to taste. Cook until chicken is cooked throughout. When cooked, drain chicken and set aside in a bowl. Add 2-3 Tbs to skillet and throw in onion, artichokes, and 2 cloves minced garlic. Cook until onions are translucent; add in tomato, spinach and olives. Cook for a few minutes, turn down heat and then mix the chicken back in. 

While you are cooking you can start preparing the spaghetti squash. I cut it in half, scoop out the insides and heat each half in the microwave for 4 minutes. Then you just scrape it with a fork and it starts looking like spaghetti.

Put some spaghetti squash on a plate and add the chicken mix! Enjoy!

Made this as part of my son's lunch. He loved it. 


For the leprechaun I used a cutie and a kiwi. The pot of gold is just bananas!
