Instructions

Heat a large frying pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil over a medium to high heat.
Add the diced chicken breast, followed by 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper and 1 teaspoon of oregano. Cook until it is no longer pink. Take the chicken out of the pan and set it aside.
Put the carrots into the pan and fry for 2–3 minutes, until tender.
Add the courgette and the yellow squash and fry for another minute, until they become slightly translucent.
Add the kale, followed by 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Fry until the kale starts to wilt.
Push the vegetables aside with a spatula and add the garlic. Fry it for about 30 seconds and then mix it through the vegetables. (This works best if you put the garlic in the middle of the pan, where it is hotter.)
Add the cooked pasta and the chicken, followed by 1 teaspoon of oregano, and stir until everything is evenly mixed. Take the pan off the heat.
