Mediterranean Chicken With Feta Cheese image

This is a delicious and LIGHT! pasta dish as well as quite easy to make. If you love meat, then double the chicken... in the recipe I halved the original amount and like it much better that way. I added the kalamata olives to the original recipe and find it makes it a much better dish (but I loved it before the addition). I also use less feta than called for since I reserve a portion without for myself... I don't like feta. 30 minutes total prep and cooking... I work the whole time it's cooking. Enjoy!

Time 35m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

12 ounces orzo pasta
1 lb chicken breast (boneless or skinless)
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium onions
4 teaspoons garlic, minced
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon basil
1 cup dry white wine
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes (Italian style)
8 ounces feta cheese (I use 4 ounces)
1/3 cup kalamata olive, chopped
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring water to boil for pasta, then follow package instructions and check for doneness (since recipes always take me a little longer than the stated time, I don't usually start cooking the pasta at the very beginning!).
  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large skillet.
  • Chop onions coarsely and add to pot.
  • Cut chicken into bite-size pieces and add to pot.
  • Raise heat to med-high.
  • Cook until chicken is not pink on the outside (about 3 minutes).
  • Add garlic, oregano, and basil and continue cooking chicken. Stir frequently.
  • When chicken is cooked through, stir in wine and cook 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes with juice and continue cooking a few minutes until it becomes less juicy.
  • Stir in feta cheese and kalamata olives.
  • Garnish with parsley.
  • Serve over hot drained orzo -- sometimes I mix it all together.

This is a great recipe for a healthy and delicious meal. The chicken is lean and the vegetables are packed with nutrients. I love the way the feta cheese adds a touch of tanginess.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids love the chicken and the feta cheese, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some grilled chicken I had leftover from the night before and it turned out great. The feta cheese and herbs really kicked up the flavor of the chicken.

I've made this recipe several times and it's always a hit. The chicken is always tender and juicy, and the feta cheese adds a nice tanginess. I usually serve it with roasted vegetables and a side of rice.
