Mediterranean Pasta Recipe with Chicken

Step 1

Brown the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large straight sided skillet or a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, but not quite cooked through, about 4-6 minutes total. Remove chicken to a plate.

Step 2

Cook the vegetables: Reduce heat to medium. If your pan is dry, add remaining tablespoon of oil, if not omit the oil*. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and sauté 1 minute. Add in the garlic, Greek seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle the flour on the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for another 1 minute.

Step 3

Add in the liquid: Add in the broth* and half-and-half, whisking to combine. Increase heat to high.

Step 4

Add chicken and pasta: Add the spaghetti to the pot along with the chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5

Cover and cook: Bring to a slow boil, stirring occasionally, then immediately reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until pasta is just al dente*.

Step 6

Finish pasta: Add in the artichoke hearts, olives, feta and oregano. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minute, or until feta is melted and pasta is cooked to your liking.

Step 7

Serve: Garnish with more feta, herbs, nuts and plenty of fresh lemon wedges. Enjoy!
