- Heat Boiling Water for Pasta
- Heat Grill pan for chicken
- Score Chicken Breasts in X pattern for even cooking.
- Season Chicken with salt,pepper,tarragon and garlic powder ( I use the one with parsley mixed in).
- Grill chicken, turning only once to get a good brown crust on each side. About 7-8 minutes a side depending on thickness. Don't dry them out!
- While chicken is cooking:
- Heat 1/4c oil in very large saute pan.
- Add garlic, do not brown, cook for a minute or so.
- Add artichokes, tomatoes, olives, red pepper flakes.
- Cook for about 5 minutes stirring around pretty often on medium heat.
- Add wine (or chix broth)
- Reduce a little, about 3 minutes.
- Remove Chicken when done to let rest for about 5 minutes, then slice on an angle.
- Add cooked pasta to saute pan and let finish cooking for about a minute, crumble feta and add basil to pasta, adjust seasonings with salt and pepper. Note: Add a litte pasta water if pasta mixture looks too dry.
- Serve in a big pasta bowl with sliced chicken on top. Serve with extra Feta and red pepper.
- Enjoy! Good Hot or Cold!!
