This is so good...I cheated even more and used chopped canned chicken breast. I did try and make it a little healthier by using whole wheat penne pasta. I do have to confess, I was going to post this exact same recipe because it is in the current edition of "Taste of Home" but you obviously beat me to it -by almost a year and a half LOL!!! Next time I will add a teaspoon of oregano for even more authentic Greek flavor! This is a tasty and quick mid-week alternative to dining out in a Greek restaurant!
