There are few ingredients I love more than artichokes and feta cheese. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. If there is an item on a restaurant menu with one or, Lord help me, both ingredients, you can nearly guarantee I will order it. Then wolf it down. With little regard for the small children frightened by my groans of delight.
So, when I saw this recipe on Cooking on Clover Lane, we made it within a few days. And, I must say, it was simple and tasty. If you like artichokes and feta, I’m fairly positive you will like this recipe. I did make some modifications based on our taste and what I had on-hand. And, part of that was adding chicken. Ryan has no taste right now, because he has (another) cold. But, he said that he’s sure it’s good, too, regardless of not being able to judge the dish properly.
Greek chicken penne with artichokes and feta
1 box (16 oz.) of penne pasta (whole wheat)
Olive oil
2 chicken breasts, sliced and diced into smaller, bite-sized pieces
1 chopped red onion
4 cloves garlic minced
1 (14 oz.) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 (16 oz.) can diced tomatoes
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
3 tbsp. fresh parsley
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1 tsp. dried oregano
Cook pasta according to directions. Drain.
At the same time, in a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and cook onions and garlic until onions are translucent. Add and cook chicken until no longer pink. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add artichoke hearts, tomato, feta cheese, parsley, lemon juice, oregano and drained pasta.
Cook until heated through, 3-4 minutes.
Serve warm. And, please serve with garlic bread and a greek salad with olives, tomatoes, feta and artichoke. Otherwise, it’s hardly worth making. 😉
my mouth started watering once i read this title. i’m going to throw this into my recipe binder for next week. i love love feta.
This looks amazing! I will definitely be making it soon.
Ooh, I’m adding this to my must-make-for dinner list and perhaps w/ shrimp.
My eyes are glazed over whilst I envision a bubbling bowl of delicious artichoke dip……for dinner. That’s my BACK-UP dinner option.
Those pics are making me so hungry. Sounds yummy and I will have to try this recipe!
And Texas Toast, yum! I stopped buying Texas Toast because we were eating it SO much. I could eat this picture though it looks so good.
Yum!!! Thanks for sharing. This will definitely be on a dinner table near us soon!!
mmmmm will have to try it out! we had a similar pasta dish last night with artichoke, yum
Yummy, Yummy! Can’t wait to try it out it looks soooooo good. Thanks
Drooling…I hope I don’t mess my keyboard up. 😉
Yummy Kimmy! You gotta make that for us when you come out in April. And the yellow fiestaware just sets it off. Go little Martha!
YUM! This was on Barefoot Contessa yesterday and it looked SO delicious. Bet some feta would take it to the next level!

You are a woman after my heart… This sounds fabulous!
Mmm, I’ll be over. It’ll take me about 16 hours, but I’ll be there.
This looks super good, Kim! This is one of those meals that I would make just for me. I couldn’t convince my husband to eat artichokes, feta, or tomatoes for that matter. I am jealous that you have a vegetable-eating husband!
Oh yummy yummy yummy….i love artichokes and feta too!! And if it has “Greek” in the title I’m all in!!! Definitely going on my menu for next week. Thanks Kim!
I was just wondering- you say you love artichokes, but does that mean just the hearts, or the leaves too? Everyone loves the hearts but I grew up nibbling off the meaty ends of the leaves too. My husband thinks I’m crazy for that, so was just wondering if you like that too??
