4 chicken breast halves
Recipe from My Yummy Life
4 chicken breast halves
1 28oz can Italian diced tomatoes, undrained
Feta Cheese
12-24 olives (personal preference as to amount and type)
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
12 oz pasta (spaghetti or vermicelli is best)
Preheat the oven to 425degrees. Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken breasts. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil. Place two of the seasoned chicken breasts into the heated skillet and allow to brown on one side for 3-4 minutes. When the first side is golden, flip the chicken breasts and allow to brown on the other side. Set aside, and repeat with the remaining two chicken breasts. In a bowl combine the tomatoes, feta, and olives. Pour half of this mixture into an oven safe dish large enough to accommodate all of the ingredients.
Layer the browned chicken breasts on top of the first half of the tomato/olive/feta mixture and then cover them with the remaining half of the tomatoes/olives/feta.
Place the dish into the preheated oven and allow to bake until the chicken is done, about 50 minutes. About 20 minutes before the chicken is done boil water and prepare the pasta as directed, then drain. When the chicken has been removed from the oven, transfer the breasts to a separate plate and toss the pasta in with the tomatoes/olives/feta in the baking dish. Return the chicken breasts to the baking dish and garnish the whole shebang with feta.
Hi ! My name is Mike Huish from BC Canada! I have an Google Huish alert , that sends me articles about anything with the name Huish and thats how I found your blog. I am glad I did because I have done similar recipes like yours and am definitely going to try yours. My Dad was a Terrific Chef and I learned a lot from him and he always said that if you have canned tomatoe sauce and canned tomatoes in the house you will always be ready for sudden drop in company. So versatile with rice also. Your sauce can be used over rice also. Try your sauce with pork chops (cut most of any fat off ) Brown with sliced onions in a pan then cook the same way as your chicken breasts. I usually use pork chops(not fast fry chops) with the bone in only because they seem to be not so dry and when cooked the meat just falls off the bone. :) Can't wait to try yours!
