Steps:
- Brown the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a large straight sided skillet or a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and season generously with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, but not quite cooked through, about 4-6 minutes total. Remove chicken to a plate.
- Cook the vegetables: Reduce heat to medium. If your pan is dry, add remaining tablespoon of oil, if not omit the oil*. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and sauté 1 minute. Add in the garlic, Greek seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Sprinkle the flour on the tomatoes and cook, stirring, for another 1 minute.
- Add in the liquid: Add in the broth* and half-and-half, whisking to combine. Increase heat to high.
- Add chicken and pasta: Add the spaghetti to the pot along with the chicken. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cover and cook: Bring to a slow boil, stirring occasionally, then immediately reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until pasta is just al dente*.
- Finish pasta: Add in the artichoke hearts, olives, feta and oregano. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minute, or until feta is melted and pasta is cooked to your liking.
- Serve: Garnish with more feta, herbs, nuts and plenty of fresh lemon wedges. Enjoy!

EEZY PEEZY MEDITERRANEAN CHICKEN PENNE
This dish was a happy accident in my kitchen. It was one of those moments when I had bits and pieces of ingredients, but, I had to get creative about how to stretch them into a pasta bake. I had roasted chicken, left over pasta from another project, spinach that was closing in on it's expiration date, a handful of sun dried tomatoes, half a jar of prepared basil pesto....and a couple of jars of Alfredo sauce in my pantry. I literally cleaned out my fridge when I made this dish, and it ended up leaving my family yellin' for more!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and spray a 4 quart/11x7 inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large stove top pot, over medium heat cook the diced onion in a couple of drizzles of olive oil until translucent. Season with salt and pepper to your taste and add the crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick! I'm using a large pot, because it's going to double as my mixing bowl. To the pot add both jars of Alfredo sauce, 1/2 cup of milk, and the cream cheese. Simmer on low heat until the cream cheese melts. Add 1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup of basil pesto, 3 cups chopped roasted chicken, 1/3 cup of sun dried tomatoes, and 1 1/4 cups of shredded Italian cheese blend. Stir well. Add the hot pasta and the entire package of baby spinach. Stir over low heat until the spinach wilts into the sauce. This will only take a couple of minutes. If you'd like your sauce a little thinner, add extra milk and stir, stir, stir!! Pour the mixture into the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining shredded Italian cheese blend on top. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter and toss with the crumbs. I used Italian herb flat breads, that I crushed with a rolling pin. Sprinkle the crumbs over the pasta. Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden and the edges are bubbly. Serve hot. Yield: 6-8 servings Cook's note: Sun dried tomatoes are packed in oil. I like to rinse the oil from the tomatoes for this dish, so that it won't overpower the sauce.
