28 Reviews of Greek Penne and Chicken

I've been making this for about a year now, with these adaptions - I use 1 tbsp olive oil in place of the butter. I saute the chicken with salt, pepper & paprika for color, then add sliced mushrooms along with the red onions. I use about 3/4 can of petite diced tomatoes, add sliced black olives and I stir in the feta right before serving. Hands down, my favorite pasta dish and a lower fat dish.

I think this could be a great dish, but mine didn't turn out like the pictures here and was a little too dry. I did leave out the tomatoes, maybe that made a big difference. I also think it would have been better if I waited to add the feta until it was ready to come out of the pan, because mine basically melted away as I followed the instructions in step 3. The flavors do go together really well, my attempt just would need some tweeking.

This was a great pasta dish! Once I had all the ingredients prepared, it came together so quickly! Great taste - all the flavours combined nicely and one didn't overpower the other. I chose not to put in the artichoke hearts (personal taste). I loved how the feta coated everything, making it nice and creamy! Thanks for posting!

This was very quick and easy. And tasty too! I had purchased pre-cooked chicken to use in this (to save time) and it was rotten grrr so had to leave it out. Used whole wheat pasta and heirloom tomatoes from my mom's garden. Next time I will add a pinch of red pepper flakes and maybe use marinated artichokes to add a little more flavor. This was very good leftover for lunch! Thanks Lauralie!

Yummmmm! We loved this! I did substitute olive oil for the butter, but the rest was the same. I also added the tomato and realized I wanted more so I threw in a can of petite diced tomatoes. The artichokes give this a great, tangy flavor. Thanks for a nice low-fat meal with flavor!

I really liked this, but what's not to love about feta and artichokes! I'm not a fan of tomatoes so I left them out. Next time I'll put in some roasted red peppers just to add in some color. This is a keeper!

This was very good, although maybe a tad dry. We forgot to pick up a tomato though so maybe that added some moisture to it. Anyway I used olive oil as suggested by some of the other reviewers, and used more feta than called for. My husband always complains when I make dishes that call for artichoke claiming how much he hates them, but he loved this and told me it was 5 stars. I then reminded him about the artichokes and he said he forgot they were in there lol.

A good tasty recipe, but it seemed like too much noodles and not enough of the real substance (chicken, tomatoes, etc.) Adding 1 1/2 pouds of chicken would not have been out of place.

Thanks for the great recipe! I made a couple additions/substitutions: canned tomatoes instead of fresh, added 1/4 cup of chopped spinach, 1/4 tsp of crushed red pepper and omitted the butter since I used marinated artichokes. My DH and I both thoroughly enjoyed this dish!

We really enjoyed this, Lauralie! I made as directed, only substituting canned tomatoes for fresh, which worked very well. I enjoyed this combination of flavors and will certainly make again! Thanks for a wonderful supper, Lauralie!
