Chicken Feta Pasta Recipe

Who is ready for another quick and easy dinner recipe? I AM! LOL. You just can never have enough go to quick dinner recipes. Having shared the creamy swedish meatballs recipe and the sheet pan chicken with sweet potatoes recipe on this blog already. I am sure you can handle this chicken feta pasta recipe too, can’t you?

What I love about this particular recipe is that everything, the pasta included is cooked in one pan or dish. Altogether there are only 5 readily available ingredients required and you can make use of your dutch oven instead of the large pot too. Feel free to use whichever long and straight pasta you have available, do not sweat it. Dinner will be ready in just 35 minutes.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

  • extra-virgin olive oil
  • boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • kosher salt
  • freshly ground black pepper
  • diced tomatoes with basil, garlic, and oregano
  • water
  • whole wheat fettuccini pasta or spaghetti
  • reduced-fat feta cheese
  • fresh basil (optional)
  • large pot
  • dutch oven (optional)

Turn on the heat to high to heat the olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and cook each side for 5 to 8 minutes. Make sure you move the breasts around or they will annoyingly stick to the bottom of the pot. Your chicken should have a nice crust when done. The diced tomatoes and the water go in next, followed by the pasta.

With the lid off, allow to cook for about 5 minutes. Throw the lid on and let everything cook for 10 more minutes. Lift the lid and add about 3/4 of the feta cheese. Stir and leave to cook for 5 minutes, this time without the lid. Your pasta should be ready, sprinkle the leftover feta and some basil when serving. It’s best served warm! 🙂
