Angel Hair Pasta with Feta and Chicken

Serves 4-6

Angel Hair Pasta

2-3 Chicken breast, cooked, sliced or chopped and kept warm

1 medium onion, sliced thin

½ red bell pepper, sliced thin

1 clove garlic, minced

2 tablespoons EVOO

1 cup white wine

¼ cup lemon juice

½ cup chicken stock or broth

½ cup black olives

½ cup feta cheese, crumbled

1 teaspoon oregano

 3-4 Parsley sprigs chopped, optional

Fresh ground pepper

Red pepper flakes-optional

Place pasta bowls in a warm oven to heat them while cooking this dish!

While pasta is cooking, in large skillet sauté onion and red peppers in EVOO until very soft, and then add garlic sauté for another minute.  Next add the wine and bring the wine to a boil and let it reduce for a little bit.  Now add the lemon juice and the chicken broth bringing this to a boil.  Then add in the chicken, ¼ cup feta cheese, oregano, pepper, red pepper flakes, and parsley.  Toss in hot pasta and serve with the other ¼ cup feta cheese sprinkled over each serving.

* I usually cook my pasta “al dente” and then I strain the pasta and set it aside while I make the rest of the dish.  Just before I am ready to add it to the recipe I drop pasta back into a pan of boiling water to reheat the pasta.  Then after a moment or two I strain the pasta again and add it to the recipe.  I saw this at a restaurant and copied their method!
