INGREDIENTS
1 pound bowtie pasta, cooked according to package directions and drained (rotini, fusilli, penne, ziti, small shells, or a small-shaped pasta may be substituted)
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more if necessary
1.75 to 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, or to taste, plus more if desired
3 to 4 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed
5 ounces fresh baby spinach (about 4 heaping handfuls)
12 ounces artichoke hearts (I used previously frozen that I thaw, drain, and keep whole; dice them if you prefer)
one 12-ounce jar fire-roasted red bell peppers, drained and diced small (another red pepper variety may be substituted or use half of a fresh red bell pepper diced small and cook it with the chicken)
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (Pepper Jack or mozzarella may be substituted)
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
fresh parsley, optional for garnishing
