Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a bowl, mix together the chopped spinach, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

3. Lay the chicken tenders flat on a cutting board and make a slit in the middle of each tender without cutting all the way through.

4. Stuff each chicken tender with a spoonful of the spinach and ricotta mixture. Secure the opening with toothpicks.

5. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the stuffed chicken tenders on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

6. Pour the chicken broth into the skillet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

7. While the chicken is baking, cook the pasta according to package instructions.

8. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

9. Serve the stuffed chicken tenders over cooked pasta, drizzle with the pan juices, and sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.

Special Tips or Variations:

- Feel free to add some red pepper flakes to the spinach and ricotta mixture for a spicy kick.

- You can also top the dish with some marinara sauce for extra flavor.

- Make sure to remove the toothpicks from the chicken before serving.
