Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Fill a large pot with water, add a generous pinch of salt, and bring to a boil.
- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then drain and set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the diced chicken breasts to the skillet.
- Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Cook for about 6-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
- Add the quartered artichokes and halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet with the chicken.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes, letting the tomatoes soften slightly.
- Stir in the dried oregano, fresh parsley, lemon juice, and olives.
- Cook for 1-2 minutes until everything is well combined and heated through.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and gently toss to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the sauce and ingredients.
- Crumble the feta cheese over the pasta just before serving and give it a gentle mix so the cheese is distributed throughout.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve the Mediterranean Chicken Pasta hot and enjoy your delicious Mediterranean-inspired meal!
Tips:
- Use high-quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
- Make sure not to overcook the chicken; keep it juicy and tender by cooking just until it's no longer pink.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice will elevate the flavors more than bottled lemon juice.
- For a gluten-free option, substitute regular pasta with gluten-free pasta.
- Using a variety of tomatoes, such as heirloom or grape tomatoes, can add different textures and flavors to the dish.
