I loved that this recipe had a simple list of some of my favorite ingredients and was so easy to prepare. I'm on my own tonight and this was a perfect dinner for me. Plus, I have leftovers to enjoy for lunch for the next couple of days. I used fresh tomatoes (last of the season) from my garden. I sauteed the chicken in a little bit of olive oil with the garlic and balsamic. I was a little worried since the recipe only called for 1 Tb of balsamic, that it would be a little dry. Not so! It was perfect as it was. The only modifications that I made was to chop the kalamatas because I like more even distribution and I sliced the mushrooms (baby bellas). I added a little salt and pepper, but not much because the feta was salty enough. The dish was really flavorful. I'm copying this down as a keeper. I'm just sorry I didn't try it sooner!

This is an excellent mixture of flavors. Some of my favorite things are in this recipe. Feta cheese and kalamata olives make any dish special. I feel the recipe portions are off. While I agree that most of us eat too much meat stretching 8 ounces of chicken to serve four is just a bit too far IMO. When I make this again for the two of us I will half the pasta and half the feta cheese leaving everything else the same. This is very good just don't prepare it expecting to serve four people.
