This is wonderful! I'd double the sauce, especially if serving over pasta. We loved it and wanted extra servings, but tried to be good! I sprinkled extra feta over the pasta before serving the chicken and sauce over it. I left the salt out of the recipe since the feta has such a salty taste. Thanks for sharing! Made for your win in football tag.

Oh yum, this was fabulous! The feta cheese really puts this over the top, quite frankly, the only thing I would say is, this is potentially a salty dish, especialy if you are someone who generally doesnt use much salt, so just watch your seasoning. I did alter slightly in that I really prefer not to cook whole fillets of chicken if I can avoid it, I much prefer to cube and cook like that, and I did do that in this case. The chicken came out so tender, and the sauce is just divine, this is a total make again for me. I served this over linguini, it would be equally good over rice, I just felt like noodles. Thank you lazyme, a really good recipe which I'll be making again soon. I made and enjoyed this for International Agents of QUEST, Russian sector
