Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts, sliced diagonally
1 (8 1/2-ounc) jar sun-dried tomatoes, julienned (1 cup)
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1 pound fresh angel hair pasta
1/4 cup fresh basil
1 (8 1/2-ounce) can artichoke hearts in water, quartered and drained (1 cup)
1/2 cup kalamata olives, pitted (1/4 pound)
6 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons dried oregano
Salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Boil water for pasta in a pasta pot, fitted with a strainer. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken strips until no longer pink -- about 3 minutes each side. Add sun-dried tomatoes and garlic to skillet. Saute for 2 minutes. In the meantime, add the fresh pasta to boiling water, cook until al dente, about 5 minutes.

Now add the basil, artichoke hearts, olives and feta cheese to the skillet. Saute 1 minute then stir in the cream. Strain the pasta and transfer to a large pasta bowl. Add the chicken saute to the pasta and toss. Season with oregano, salt and pepper before serving.

Very good but...
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Other than adding more cream, no one has mentioned that this dish is really dry. I added about 1/2 C pasta water so I didn't... have to add the fat calories, but it still wasn't enough. The leftovers went in the fridge with a ton of chicken broth and the dish was very tasty and moist for lunch. I also only used about 1/2 of the sun-dried tomato and added 1 T of tomato paste since we don't "love" the chewiness of the sun-dried tomatoes. And adding pine nuts (as another reviewer mentioned) was a great treat. Read more

SOOOOOO good!! Just needs a few adjustments
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Turns out dry when using the recipe "as is". I ended up adding more cream (visually until it looked creamy- I'm guessing a... 1/2 to 3/4 cup more) and salt (to taste). Next time, I will use 3/4lb of pasta (I HIGHLY recommend angel hair), and with these adjustments, it's perfect!Read more

Good, but excellent the next day!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I made this last night and it was very good. I do agree that it would be better with more of the sauce. I couldn't find the... juliened sun-dried tomatos so I had to use dried sun-dried tomatos. It still had very good flavor. I tried a little bit of the leftovers today after the flavors had married overnight in the fridge and it tasted even better!Read more

Awesome!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was a fast and really easy dish to make. The flavors in the dish were excellent! The combination of the olives,... cheese, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes and fresh basil worked so well together. I will certainly be making this again.Read more

DOUBLE WINNER - DELICIOUS & EASY!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was fun and easy to make last night for dinner - extremely fresh-tasting. My husband just enjoyed left-overs for lunch.... I served it with herb-roasted green beans, Pugliosi bread and a nice salad. It would be a nice and simple entree for entertaining.Read more
