Ingredients
Serves: 6
1 (500g) pack pasta - any small shape works well
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 red onion, chopped
450g (1 lb) skinless, boneless chicken breast fillets - diced
1 (410g) tin artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
Cook pasta according to package instructions; drain.
2.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion, and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 5 to 6 minutes.
3.
Reduce heat to medium-low, and add the artichoke hearts, tomato, feta cheese, parsley, lemon juice, oregano and cooked pasta. Stir until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
4.
Remove from heat, season to taste with salt and pepper, and garnish with lemon wedges.

I added green & orange peppers instead of artichoke hearts and also added mushrooms, black olives and a little bit of Light Philadelphia spring onion & black pepper cheese to add to the flavour.

DELICIOUS! WOW, what a great tasting pasta dish. I added just a touch of butter with the olive oil to cook the onions (adds some great flavour), seasoned the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before cooking, used half of the oregano suggested (not a huge fan) and used wholewheat penne pasta. I used light feta cheese which melted right away and created this beautiful, light, creamy sauce. Everyone that tried it absolutely LOVED it. I'm so thrilled that I found this recipe. I will be using this for many years to come. DEVINE recipe Lalena... thank you so much for posting!

My husband and I thought this was delicious. As is my habit, I increased the amount of seasonings, the artichokes, the tomatoes, the feta, the olives, the garlic, added fresh basil. Made a great meal with salad, kalamata olive/garlic bread and wine

I prepared this with linguine and it tasted great. I also made sure to add chopped kalamata olives which added plenty of flavour. Lastly, the only artichokes I had on hand were the ones packed in oil and they worked great as well. It probably added a few calories, however I was able to cut a few out by using light feta cheese. So it probably evened itself out in the end. This recipe was ideal for a weeknight dinner because it was fast and delicious without a lot of cleanup.
This was very good. If you don't like tangy sauces then you won't like this one. Next time I'll add a bit of tomato puree to thicken the sauce. My husband and I really enjoyed this. I will make this again!
