Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add your favorite pasta and cook until just al dente, around 8-10 minutes, or according to package instructions. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve about ½ cup of the starchy pasta water, then drain and set the pasta aside to keep it warm.
- In a large skillet, heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add bite-sized pieces of chicken, seasoning with salt, pepper, and dried herbs. Sauté for about 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, then transfer cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced red onion and diced red bell pepper, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Incorporate sun-dried tomatoes and halved cherry tomatoes into the skillet, stirring for about 2 minutes until softened. Add pitted and sliced Kalamata olives, mixing everything well.
- Add the reserved chicken back into the skillet along with fresh baby spinach. Stir gently for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the spinach to wilt.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the pasta is coated. Gradually add the reserved pasta water until you reach your desired consistency.
- Remove from heat and fold in crumbled feta cheese along with fresh parsley and dill. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
- Dish out the Chicken Feta Greek Pasta immediately for the best flavor and texture, and serve with a crisp salad or garlic pita chips.

Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency and add a splash of lemon juice before serving for added zing.
