I think chicken is the easiest thing to spruce up to taste good just have to find the right combinations such as this!

Fresh Italian (doesn't have a real name) 1 box whole wheat penne pasta 3 handfuls fresh baby spinach 1 cup baby grape tomatoes (halved or quatered depending on size, then nuked for 20 seconds) 2tbs butter or evoo (whichever you prefer) 1 cloved minced garlic crumbled feta cheese Cook your pasta, and right before it is done, put evoo and garlic into sautee pan. Heat until oil is nice and hot, but don't let your garlic burn! If you are using butter, brown it slightly until it gets nutty smelling! Next add in your tomatoes, spinach and cooked pasta. Toss these together until spinach JUST BARELY starts to wilt. Put a few(and I mean a few) crumbles of feta cheese in and toss until they start to melt just a bit (a little of this stuff goes a LONG way) Sprinkle pepper on top and plate. Serve with a nice big green salad and iced tea with lemon. Yum!

They are SMALL. If you wanted to use regular grape tomatoes, you would just need to quarted them and you should be good.
