1 lb Chicken Breast (Pieces)
1 lb Penne or Spaghetti
1-2 Cups Cherry Tomatoes (Halved)
1 Cucumber (Quartered)
1-2 Cups Pitted Greek Olives (Halved)
Oregano (To Taste)

Olive OIl

SAUCE

16 oz Cream Cheese
1 Cup Feta Cheese
1 + 3/4 Cup Whole Milk
Juice of 1-2 Lemons
4 Cloves Garlic (MInced)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Prepare tomatoes, cucumber and olives. Set aside.
  2. Begin melting cream cheese in a large sauce pan on medium heat. As it melts, add feta cheese and continue metling.Then patiently stir in milk, garlic and lemon juice (start with 1 lemon and taste). When sauce reaches a creamy sort of consistency, reduce heat enough to keep it warm and stir occasionally to be sure it isn’t burning on the bottom.
  3. Meanwhile, in a large pot, boil your choice of pasta according to directions on box. Also, heat about 1 TBSP olive oil in a skillet and cook chicken pieces. As chicken cooks, season it with desired amount of oregano, sea salt, and pepper.
  4. Drain pasta and return to pot. Stir in chicken and sauce, then let cool and thicken for a few minutes. Garnish with desired amount of vegetables per plate and enjoy!
